Escher exhibit currently showing and, well, Wow! Seeing the works in person that I have only previously seen reproduced in books and posters was simply a transcendent experience. What a museum too, filled with works by American masters.Randall Ensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537256358169191756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-3915700806454836752010-10-20T00:03:51.427-04:002010-10-20T00:03:51.427-04:00Hmmm....
