On most days, Rob Kempton guards the many beautiful works on display at the Baltimore Museum of Art -- but this weekend, he's curating them.
"I just love how it's such a confrontational painting," he said of Hartigan's piece."It's so large, I feel dwarfed by it when I look at it often." Kempton finds himself drawn to"the rich, opaque colors. Really intense and improvisational palette knife scraping," he said.
Kempton often looks for opportunities to engage with visitors over the artwork."I've always thought that these are the best moments to create conversation among visitors, where we can have a commonality already," he said.
