I found a photography book of portraits of residents in the fabled Chelsea Hotel. One woman's image caught my eye: she was probably in her early 40's and she sported a crew cut with one lacquered spit curl pasted on her forehead.
Not long after I got to New York, I drove down to New York City with some friends. My first stop was the Museum of Modern Art to see Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. There it was! I was finally seeing it! But I wasn't viewing it alone for there looking at it, too, was the woman with the spit curl crew cut.
Blixa, I enjoyed your demonstration that there is an art, with all its imagination and invention, which happens in the act of experiencing art.
