Peter Blume While on vacation in New York City, I stayed with my former high school teacher and friend, Gregg Ninos. After attending the celebrated Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gregg asked “Do you like the Denver Art Museum'” My reply was, “I used to.” The Met was by far the most impressive art museum I have ever experienced. Others, such as the Denver Art Museum, only pale in comparison. I did not attend the featured exhibit while I was there, for the wait was over two and a half hours. I did, however, visit many of the different wings of the museum. The wing I wish to talk about is one that I have trouble liking. The more I look at and discuss it, however, the more it grows on me. The modern art wing has many paintings, architecture, sculpture, and drawings dating back to 1900. Artist’s paintings that caught my eye were done by Braque, Picasso, Charles Sheeler, Piet Mondrian, and Grant Wood. There was one artist whose painting I enjoyed the most, and which I spent nearly twenty minutes attempting to break down its meaning.
