Rightly Overwhelmed Art

We are leaving early this a.m., our longest one-day journey ahead of us.  Seven hours from here to Palo Duro Canyon State Park near Amarillo.  We are going there to see another iconic land artwork, Cadillac Ranch.  We toured all of Donald Judd’s complex yesterday.  Powerful.  However, this is the truth of it.  The compound is a WW I and II army base and prisoner-of-war camp.  Many of the old signs painted in German still remain.  The history here, still very much in evidence, the location in the vastness of SW Texas, and the architecture overwhelm the art and place it rightfully in one's heart, mind, and soul.
