My most memorable experience of art, or at least the first experience that pops into my mind, involves a visit to the Minneapolis Institute of Art. On one of my first visits to the MIA, I remember seeing a portrait of George Washington, standing in a heroic pose with red curtains around him. I don't know why I liked it so much or why it sticks with me, but I can see it perfectly in my head. I stop to see that painting every time I go to the MIA.
