"He peered sideways up and gave a long low whistle of call,
then paused awhile in rapt attention, his even white teeth
glistening here and there with gold points. Chrysostomos.
Two strong shrill whistles answered through the calm.

Switch off the current, will you?"

of expression has been in Lyche’s repertoire ever since she
graduated from the art academy in 2004.”

Those who enjoy the occult may be entertained by the number 347 in
“Pablo Picasso. Suite 347.”  That number appeared in this  journal,
notably, on Christmas Eve 2005 as a page number from the classic
The Club Dumas , a novel by Arturo Perez-Reverte.

Paul Valéry, "Introduction to the Method of Leonardo da Vinci,"
La Nouvelle Revue , Paris, Vol. 95 (1895)—

"Regarded thus, the ornamental conception is to the individual arts
what mathematics is to the other sciences. …the objects chosen
and arranged with a view to a particular effect seem as if disengaged
from most of their properties and only reassume them in the effect,
in, that is to say, the mind of the detached spectator. It is thus
by means of an abstraction that the work of art can be constructed,
and is more or less easy to define according as the elements borrowed
from reality for it are more or less complex. Inversely it is by a sort of
induction, by the production of mental images, that all works of art are
appreciated, and this production must equally be more or less active,
more or less tiring, according as it is set in motion by a simple interlacing
on a vase or a broken phrase by Pascal."

— Translated by Thomas McGreevy (Valéry's Selected Writings,
     New Directions, 1950)
