My wife and I were at MFA in Boston for an exhibition of early Picasso drawings and paintings, which was in itself, insanely great. And as we exited the gift shop, we ran into MFA's prized piece, Renoir's "Dance at Bougival" which is so vibrant, so alive in person it knocked us both on our asses.

🧵An open question: Describe a memorable moment when you had a knock-out reaction to an art work? Like that whole body & mind swoon, a personal game changer. Mine was in 1988. I was in Manhattan on an art school trip, gallery hopping. I was in The Whitney, exhausted after a day of visiting galleries.
