To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.

Albert,  I just want to change one word in your quote-  Art.  I think the word art can be substituted for science and speaks volumes about my new favorite artist at the VMFA-  Ryan McGinness.   Originally from Virginia Beach, Ryan now lives and works in NY.  Called a "warholian for the technology age"  Ryan simplifies images and creates stunning colorful pieces using screening processes.

These are some of his pieces I viewed.  I love the chair and the breakdown of Andrew Wyeth's "The Country".  It's like a combination of drafting and more design oriented arts mixed with glorious expressionism.  I guess in some ways his work could be viewed as sacrilege to more classical pieces but I find it invigorating and exciting.
