I always try to fit a little art into my vacations. I have been to Washington DC so so many times and have never been in the Hirshorn. Finally I went. And as much as I really like abstract modern art, mmm mm, some of it is a joke on us the viewer. I still think Jackson Pollock pulled the wool over our eyes and yet I’m smitten with Cy Twonbly.

The Hirshorn is a museum that is “doable” in under and hour top to bottom, even if you, like me, dwell upon a few favorite pieces.

I’m a sucker for Joseph Cornell’s quirky boxes; the way he curates and arranges the things in each box is a whole ‘nother level.
