Visit to the Art Galleries

Visited the NGMA; the Jehangir Art Galleries; the Museum Art Gallery and Bodhi Art. Traffic at Sion was $%$#@#*&*** bad and had to hurry through NGMA. Felt terrible asking those who appeared to connect so well to the paintings that they should see the entire space and come back later for a more leisurely viewing.

The writing is by and large terrible! Most mention the names of galleries and even that incorrectly. Few speak of specific works or artists and a very few speak of movements that they discern within - in response to art. Perhaps the arts beckon those who are looking out of the window that they have opened within themselves; most it appears are asleep - let alone being aware that there are windows within us that need to be opened so that the light and the breeze can come in.

Remember the words of my teacher, who used to say-"There are many who sit on the fence. Your words should pull them into the circle of intimacy and not push them away."
