Post of the Day:
It's amazes me that donors give to some art museums with such generosity that museums can offer the absolute best of the best art that the world has ever produced, for free.
We went to the Carl Bloch exhibit at the BYU Museum of Art on Friday. 
I have never seen more powerful art, anywhere.
Some of the artwork was absolutely huge-- much, much larger than life-- and much of it is on loan for these few months only, never having left the churches in Denmark and Sweden, since Carl Bloch put them there! 
I read that Carl Bloch was just a casual believer until after he spent fourteen years painting the commissioned works of Christ's life. Then he changed. It makes sense. 
Whatever we think about and spend time with most, becomes us.
