I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it - Mark Twain
I met that small dog this morning again as I walked past the flower shop. I also bought a book yesterday about spectacular failures and all that cal. Here is a piece:
In the appreciation of modern art openmindedness is an essential quality. None have displayed it more than the hundred Frankfurt art lovers who accepted an invitation in spring 1978 to an exhibition of works by an 'exciting' new artist, Yamasaki - 'the discovery of the year'. The catalogue drew their attention to the 'convincing luminosity of his colours' and 'the excitement of his powerfully dynamic brushwork'. Within three hours all twenty-two exhibits had been bought for up to £500 each.
Excitement increased when the organiser, Mr Behrend Feddersen, announced that the artist would be making a guest appearance to answer questions about his work. How rewarding that the openmindedness of these art lovers was vindicated when a chimpanzee was brought in. 'I encouraged him to throw paint on 22 canvases,' said Mr Feddersen, and announced that the proceeds of the exhibition would be donated 'to the circus where he works.'
HAHAHAHAHHA. The idea!
