The article quotes NPR correspondent, Sylvia Poggioli, in Rome, Italy of her observation of the city, \u2018&#8230; you can actually hear the squeak of rusty door hinges,\u2019 and \u2018&#8230; the chirping of birds, an early sign of spring, is almost too loud.\u2019 Staff writer Marina Koren notes this \u2018bittersweet twist\u2019 as our slowing down creates some notable well-being for our natural world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">\u2014<strong>Grace Kook-Anderson<\/strong>, The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/portlandartmuseum.us\/mwebcgi\/mweb.exe?request=record;id=67827;type=101&amp;utm_content=buffer5ed98&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=facebook.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer&amp;fbclid=IwAR32GdynWkGFydCCcIePtWJjrr9iNvndUkf1U1XBT-qNY87CnFR0hj4CVHk\" target=\"_blank\" aria-describedby=\"opens-in-new-window\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">view the work in our online collection<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Drex Brooks (American, born 1952). <strong><em>Michelle, Listening to Water\u2014Juntura, Oregon<\/em><\/strong>, 1982.
