HIGH MUSEUM OF ART ATLANTA



I grew up most of my life in the Atlanta metro area, but had never visited the High Museum of Art. So today my mom and I went. For a town I considered fairly uncultured, I have to admit the museum was pretty good. The most impressive aspect was that the High featured a large section dedicated to naive artists from Georgia like Howard Finster and Carlton Garrett. I can't think of another museum that I've visited that was willing to take a chance and exhibit local untrained artists. The top statue is one of the witches from Macbeth, the middle piece is a installation by Carlton Garrett, and I just like the girl's fro in the bottom painting.
