Always a great visit, a museum just large enough to have a marvelous collection, outstanding contemporary exhibits, and easily walked in a morning. As usual, I offer you some of the art, and encourage you to visit. If you haven't been before, you will be surprised at the depth of the collection, and the great names represented.

| Emile Meyer The Letter The description talks about Meyer being unheard of, but when you see the detail, color, and sheer effort involved, you have to be amazed, and saddened at the lives of so many artist or real talent, even genius, who have disappeared. Is this less than a Gerome, or a David? |
