Portfolio: Quilts and Color

From the elevator cab to the smoky gray walls, the MFA Boston’s current show Quilts and Color is a riot of vibrating hues, clever geometries and optical illusion. Curators have dosed their wall texts heavily with color theory, and installed key works of Op Art around the galleries, but the connections are both obvious and unnecessary. I know it sounds like a starring-Dame-Judi-Dench sort of exhibit, but like Judi Dench, always worth watching.
