Wadsworth Atheneum

What a great trip to kick off fall! A visit to the oldest art museum in the country, I cannot believe that I have not been up there yet, what a place. To start we had lunch in the cute little Museum Cafe, which is inside the Wadsworth, great food! Then onto the pieces, which seemed never ending, I had no idea the museum was that big. One of my favorites was a letter hand written by Abraham Lincoln, though it was difficult to read, the required effort was well worth it.
Though I did not chose this piece to write my paper on, I have seen it several times before and feel it, perhaps, depics the state of mind (somewhat removed from present reality, borderline depressed) that I perceive, Van Gogh was in towards the end of his life.
I hope that everyone else enjoyed this class as much as I did!!!!!!
