Courtney Halverson Instagram – “She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.”
Alone in a museum, and I find that I am never just searching for beauty – I am searching for something that lingers, that unsettles, that stays with me long after I’ve left. Because art, much like life, is not meant to be merely admired in passing for its beauty, but to be felt; to stir, to linger, to leave something behind.
Musings from a morning at The Met, where I had the rare chance to wander (nearly) alone before opening. It was also a chance to view the Caspar David Friedrich exhibit, on display from now through May 11th. I didn’t want to spoil it by sharing too many images of the collection itself, but suffice it to say that it’s well worth going to see while you can. My favorite was ‘Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog’ which I could have stared at for ages. A big thank you to the @metmuseum for a morning I’ll never forget.
