Art as Poetry / Poetry as Art, presented by the Lakeshore Artists Guild,
and hosted by the Rahr-West Art Museum in Manitowoc, WI, May 14 — June18, 2023
did what I hope to each art experience does: gave me goosebumps and tears.
Don’t miss this exhibition. I don’t remember when I fell in love with the combination of words and pictures. But I was quite young; seven or eight. Life magazine, Look magazine, National Geographic… showed me different views of the world. This exhibition demonstrates both power of words and pictures working together and independently. The “Call and Response” nature of the show resonates like a fine musical instrument.
