\u201cNew York, 1950s,\u201d by Garry Winogrand. The Estate of Garry Winogrand, courtesy Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco<\/p><\/div>\n

From today’s New York Times<\/a>, Bill Hayes on art:<\/p>\n

When you go \u2014 not if, but when (and soon, by the way; the show closes Sept. 21) \u2014 I suggest you bring a thesaurus. Because it wasn\u2019t long before we found words failing us. An image of an acrobat caught midleap on a Manhattan street, for instance, struck the three of us as the epitome of \u201camazing.\u201d So did another photo. Then another. Upon seeing the first few dozen of the more than 175 prints on view we pledged that we would not use that word to describe every single photo. Beautiful, incredible, joyful, strange, very sad \u2014 we made it as far as the second room before we were back to the A\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is just so… amazing,\u201d said Katy, who\u2019s 18 and an aspiring photographer, as if she\u2019d been rendered helpless by yet another example of the Bronx-born artist\u2019s particular genius for street photography. I nodded in sympathy. In a world plagued by intractable problems \u2014 police shootings,\u00a0Ebola<\/a>\u00a0spreading, spiraling civil wars, planes falling from the sky \u2014 lacking sufficient synonyms for a work of art seemed a good one to have.<\/p>\n

When we reached the last room, I asked Katy which picture was her favorite. She led me back to the one that had stumped her in the synonym department. Her sister, Emily, who\u2019s 14 and had been off wandering through the Met\u2019s collection of European paintings, then showed me her favorite piece in the museum: a Monet water lily painting (the first she\u2019d ever seen) from 1919.<\/p>\n

This is when I let each girl in on a secret: It can be yours. No different from falling in love with a song, one may fall in love with a work of art and claim it as one\u2019s own. Ownership does not come free. One must spend time with it; visit at different times of the day or evening; and bring to it one\u2019s full attention. The investment will be repaid as one discovers something new with each viewing \u2014 say, a detail in the background, a person nearly cropped from the picture frame, or a tiny patch of canvas left unpainted, deliberately so, one may assume, as if to remind you not to take all the painted parts for granted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
