Back to the NGA, this time to spend time with the works of Martin Puryear. His stabile "Ladder for Booker T. Washington" rises up into the light in the center of the museum's pantheon dome.
Puryear's works demonstrate an extreme care to craftsmanship, a love of order mixed with organic forms and a rigorous belief that art is at its heart about ideas. This is a very important show and one that I plan to experience again and again before it moves on to San Francisco in the fall.
