  2. Art as a feeling is a visceral reaction to a piece, why art as thought is more long-term.
    Now, however, seeing that painting of My President the feeling and the thought are the same: I love that man. I miss that man.

    1. Note whose photo I didn't include, that would bring a different kind of a visceral reaction.

    1. The museum staff are very creative, I suspect there is a storage corner collecting all of the garbage of this era, for an extra special exhibit four years from now.

  4. I've never been in there. I hope you know who doesn't ruin it.

  5. Art always makes me feel. I don't think I ever thunk about it though.

    1. Some art makes me laugh, some cry, some just feel creepy.
