Art

I'm feeling better today from the cold, so it seems to be blowing over. That's a good thing. Today we went to the Hamburger Kunsthalle--the art museum. They have a large collection of art of many different kinds. They had a lot of art from Hamburger artists--kind of like the local boys who made it big. They also had a lot of modern art, some evocative, some distracting, and some downright puzzling. Call me a philistine, but sometimes I just don't get it. I did like Kevin's favorite modern work--several manual typewriters suspended from the ceiling typing and clacking away at the same time. There was also some dog art, and what's there not to like about dog art? Unfortunately I got tired out early so we didn't explore the museum as much as I would have liked. But it's close by so I'll be able to go back.
