re my favorite, along with the Carracci and the Rembrandt, and the Durer. Durer was one of my papers in learning about prints in my Museum Studies Masters degree.

The second section curated is: NATURE Here the Bierstadt of Yosemite which is one of the first paintings the Berkeley art museum acquired, is a favorite, as is the Cezanne . The James Ensor is the painting I would take home. I like the depiction of the white swallows in Kubo Shunman's painting.

The next section is HUMAN NATURE. Poet Billy Collins(not my favorite) is quoted: "I dont' think people read poetry because they're interested in the poet. I think they read poetry because they're interested in themselves." Perhaps those people who read Billy Collins; all the poets I read, I read, because I am interested in their lives and what they have created out of it. It has little to do with me, with the exception that it speaks to me, and they have accomplished what I have not! My favorites here are: Alexander Calder(a painting of the circus before he made it a sculpture), Durer, Philip Guston. Grandpa Roberts and his wife Sylvia Goddard Roberts were entertained by the Caldars one evening in Litchfield, Connecticut. Calder played his circus for GPa and gave him one of the pieces which he hung on the stem of a Tiffany lamp in his home in Princeton. I would guess that the grandson who was on the team that invented INTUIT at Harvard took it! Just a guess. That is fine.
