herb & dorothy

“Some people are born to make great art and others are born to appreciate it. . . . It's a kind of talent in itself, to be an audience, whether you are a spectator in the gallery or you are listening to the voice of the world's greatest soprano.  ... There have to be those who witness the art, who love and appreciate what they have been privileged to see.”  (Ann Patchett, Bel Canto)

Herb & Dorothy, a documentary about art collectors Herb and Dorothy Vogel (a postman and librarian, respectively) shows how far your good eye and passion can take you.

And it made me smile.

It will make you smile too.

I promise.
