Our American story is still being written | Opinion
"Sky Above Clouds IV" by Georgia O’Keeffe is on display at the Arts Institute of Chicago.When I was a high school freshman, I took a class called American Experience, a marriage of English and history that helped me better understand connections between the arts and specific time periods.All Quiet on the Western Front. We visited art museums in Fort Worth, studying works by Frederic Remington and Charles Russell with an appreciation for the beauty and perils of the American West.
While in Chicago, we lucked into walking through a staging area for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. We meandered among high school marching bands, bagpipe bands and a herd of miniature ponies wearing green bows on their tails and tiny sneakers on their hooves.
Our most recent jaunt to Washington, D.C., afforded time to stroll the first floor of the Supreme Court Building, the majestic halls of the Library of Congress, rooms of the National Portrait Gallery, and each floor of the Phillips Collection, the first modern art museum in the United States. I never tire of standing in the library’s Great Hall, studying details along arches, walls, staircases and the magnificent ceiling of stained glass, sculpture and murals. The beauty of the building symbolizes the inherent promise of a library — wisdom collected for the people, allowing us to learn from the past as we make decisions about the future.
