SILENCE! 

THE SIGN IN LIBRARIES 

AND MUSUEMS 

Quote for Today - July 11, 2011

"One of the best things about paintings is their silence - which prompts reflection and random reverie."

Mark Stevens - New York art critit - decrying guided tours by headphones.

Painting on top by Louis Sosa [1905-1981]. I saw this painting in the the James Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. It's entitled  "Procession"  [1952]  It's a reflection on death - especially after the death of his mother in Italy in 1951.
