While I really appreciate art and the creative process, I am one whose artistic abilities are significantly impaired. As a layperson to the art world, I went through the catalogue for the Campus Picks exhibition many, many times. I lumped what I saw into three categories: 1) that which I really did not like, 2) that which while I appreciated it I would not want it in my home, and 3) that which I covet. Most of what I saw fell into category 2! Not having been exposed to caricatures, except those being created at the local farmer's market, I was drawn to Honor� Daumier's work - it was grotesque and fascinating at the same time. The piece, Histoire Ancienne: Le Supplice de Tantale, really made me stop and wonder what it was about. I felt the same way with this image. It is like a bad dream. As I sit in my office totally stressed and tied down by what I have to do, I too, am trying to escape to the beauty all around me, fly fishing, walking the dog, Out-to-Lunch at Caras Park, and all of the other things that I am just too busy to enjoy. I printed up a copy of this work and placed it on my peg board as a reminder to not forget what is important.
