"Follow Up"

I shared an interesting conversation with a gallery staff at the Getty. I asked what was new and what I should be looking for and this particular staff member seemed very enthusiastic of the Rembrandt gallery that was on display only temporarily. I made sure that I had to pay a visit, especially since this was an artist I've actually heard of before.

The gallery wasn't what I expected at first. When I got there, I introduced myself to another gallery staff who was friendly and happy to help me appreciate the art. I told her that I had no idea what I was looking for, and was particularly displeased with the dark lighting and even duller works of art. She laughed, as she introduced me to the sketch of the lioness. It captured my attention because the subject was of an animal, but she invited me to take a closer look at the details the simple strokes displayed on the sketch. I began to see what she meant, and took such details into consideration on the rest of my visit.

This was definitely a different learning experience.
