Basquiat
We took the kids to see the Basquiat exhibit at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. Ford validated my anticipation, eagerly counting recurring symbols and remarking that "he uses crayons!" I knew the portfolio would captivate Ford, with the cartoony anatomy and cars and expressive style. But I didn't realize how much it would synchronize with Ford's interests. And I enjoyed it, too! Even if I couldn't really stop and breathe much throughout the show. Our tour was characteristically whirlwinded; we bounced around the gallery, cross-referencing to find the ties that bind the work, punctuated with requests to go to the bathroom, get a drink, go home, no stay, go to Austin. Chas, for his part, snoozed in the stroller.
