NY is better this time than the last. Maybe I'm just in a better mood this week than I was six months ago, that could be it. I jouneyed to the Met today and saw lots of art. I saw "The Horse Fair" by Rosa Bonheur, which is an amazing work, the canvas is huge and the rendering of the paint is just unbelievable, it gave me goose-bumbs. I also got to see "The Death of Socrates" by Jacque Louis David ... he is my favorite painter, so it was very exciting to add this work to my list ("Coronation of Napoleon" check, "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" check, "Death of Socrates" check, must add "Oath of the Horatii" "Lictors Bring to Brutus the Bodies of his Sons" "Death of Marat" and "the Intervention of the Sabine Women"). I have talked too much about stuff no one cares about, so I'll shut up now.
