High Culture

I went to the High Museum today.

Van Gogh
Monet
Pissaro
Picasso
Mondrian


My favorite painting
"Cafe' Terrace at Night"
was the centerpiece
of the exhibit "Van Gogh to Mondrian."
I looked at that painting at least 3 times.
The brush strokes were amazing,
the colors so bold,
the texture so rich and essential.
1888
and in 2004 it's still so beautiful.
Security guard told me I was too close
and kids on field trips would emulate me.
