This is such a unique, beautiful book. I felt like I was THERE strolling through, meditating in stillness on great works of art. Toward the end he got into stories about the artists, including Michelangelo, Alabama quilt makers and Van Gogh. I wish I had gone to the Met instead of the Museum of Modern Art on my NYC visit! Up in Maine we are in the research stages of extending a train that goes to Boston -- I have a bucket list dream now of continuing all the way down to New York and spending three days or so in this museum. I am really impressed with how effortlessly the author transported me there. As an artist I am also inspired to spend all day tomorrow painting and taking his advice on cultivating an art-loving mindset!
