Spent a divine 70 minutes at the Columbus Art Museum gazing at the impressively large exhibit devoted to Aminah Robinson, an eclectic Columbus artist who died five years ago. It was cool to be inside her home so to speak - they had a life size mural of her family room that made it feel like you were there. Her surroundings and much of her art were pleasingly baroque. There was a re-creation of her little “writing room”, a closet really, with old fashioned photos (including her great-grandfather) and old fashioned music playing (Italian cantos and Beethoven symphonies). She seemed a calm and meditative soul as well she might being an artist. (Although lack of money can make an artist pretty anxious.) There were indications of an interest in faith (she visited Jerusalem and the Bible appeared in her works).
