I took this photo in 2007 when my family and I took a trip to Paris. My sister, an art history major at the time, gave us a full tour of the most important museum in the world.

I love this picture.

Incase you can't tell, that isn't a real person. I believe he's made out of plaster.

This week, two Art Thou columns will be released: Art Thou: The Awakening of Debra Ross (Ticket Magazine) and Art Thou: Yearning to Return to the House of Esherick (Art Matters magazine). I've already talked about this week's Debra Ross story however I have yet to mention my upcoming Esherick column.

Those who have followed Art Thou since my Campus Philly days will remember the first time that I visited the house of Esherick in Paoli, Pa. Esherick was a wood sculpture and furniture maker. He often took long walks in the woods around his home at the edge of Valley Forge and often saw his future sculptures in tree trunks.

He designed his home in unique manner based around how best to use space which I will describe with more detail in this Wednesday's column.

If you have visited the house of Wharton Escherick leave a comment and tell me about your experience and what you like best.

I talked to Bernard Katz in Spring 2008 while working for Campus Philly. Here's a quick slide show of his work. I encourage readers to check out his weekly glass blowing demonstrations which will resume Sept. 8.
