Admiring Art

I admit that my tastes in art would not be considered sophisticated. I am not saying that I don’t enjoy the new, contemporary or art that is different. I fell in love with the classical artists from early Greece and Roman periods, the old masters and have developed an appreciation for the art of the Renaissance period.

I had some exposure to the visual arts in my youth during my infrequent visits to art museums. My formal introduction began with an art history class in college. Later, as an adult, I took a trip to Europe and visited Rome Venice and Florence. I was greatly impressed with the work of Venetian artist, Titan and the sculptures of Michelangelo.

I believe the combination of the art history class and the trip that allowed me to be personally involved with magnificent art was the catalyst for my fondness for the classical artists.
