		<description>That sounds like a beautiful experience, VerteAdelie, I love Rothko and was blown away when I first saw his work in person - they really do glow and levitate, don&#039;t they.</description>

		<description>Thank you so much for that post, Kirsty. I started writing a comment, speaking of my shaking knees in the Chartres cathedral, or how overwhelmed I found myself in front of the Masaccio fresco in Florence (whereas I&#039;m *really* not that fond of italian art in the first place...) and then realized my comment would be much longer than your post, so perhaps that means I should make a post on the subject too!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;ll just share one of my biggest epiphanies, as it was the first time I was overwhelmed by contemporary art, and this epiphany is called Mark Rothko. It was in 1999 (I was 24), in the Musée d&#039;art Moderne in Paris, I had never heard of him and I visited a big retrospective of his work... and oh my, I didn&#039;t understand why and how I could be so overwhelmed, but I was, and it was not far from being a mystical experience. I was lucky enough to see another important Rothko exhibition in 2001 in the Beyeler Foundation in Switzerland (one of the most wonderful place you can imagine in so many aspects) or some of his work in permanent collections of museums in London or San Francisco, and I&#039;ve never been disappointed, the magical effect was always there...</description>

		<description>How lovely to hear about your joyful experiences in Venice, missmilki. These are the moments that really stick with us, I find. If you&#039;re considering taking a more creative direction in your life, I highly recommend the book, Creating A Life Worth Living by Carol Lloyd - it&#039;s a very practical guide to moving towards a creative career.</description>
