| - I have been a fan but infrequent visitor to the Phoenix Art Museum, but my most recent visit was on an afternoon with my father in law, visiting from NYC. We checked out the Ansel Adams exhibit, and it was wonderful. As a college student, I spent many afternoons at the CCP in Tucson where his work is stored, and there were many pieces that they brought out for this exhibit that aren't always on display down there. But it was "You Who Are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies" that dumbfounded both of us. For some perspective, F-I-L is a cultured, well-traveled man (who lives across the street from the Met, no stranger to art, this guy) and he commented about what a completely unexpected, moving surprise the visit to PHXArt was. I don't know why I'm compelled to mention that, I just am. Phoenix Art Museum gets better every time I go.
