Kimbell Art Museum

About

Walking a path in Fort Worth, footsteps come to a stop, feeling a warmth as if a faint stone wall were drawing near. Within a visual flow where a dark border seems to wrap around the walls, light descending from a ceiling of glass that reflects the sky brushes through the air like a thin veil. The space engraved by the touch of Louis Kahn feels as though your steps have paused within a state of weightlessness. Amid the stillness flowing throughout the exhibition hall, Michelangelo's 'The Torment of Saint Anthony' speaks no words, yet briefly stops the visitor's breath. Here, it is not heavy time but deep light that flows, and that light seems to discover the very moment that shaped the artists' spirit.
