Took a day off and visited the National Gallery of Art. The Trompe l'Oeil show was excellent. When the museum guards are enthused, it's a good sign. The de Kooning show was OK, although as with many modern artists, he tended to do the same thing over and over again. The exhibit I enjoyed the most was An Artist's Artists: Jacob Kainen's Collection from Rembrandt to David Smith. Kainen collected many fine prints; I plan to return often before the show leaves in February. Also had time to view the excellent exhibit of Japanese prints at the Sackler Gallery. The Silk Road photographs were good too; there is nothing quite like the detail obtained by using a 14-by-20-inch large format camera.
