Bruce Chatwin on Lisa Lyon, the woman who died —
“The photographer and his model have conspired
to tell a story of their overlapping obsessions.
Their glorification of the body is an act of will,
a defiance of nihilism and abstraction, a story of
the Modern Movement in reverse.”

"We need the word 'metaphor' for the whole double unit, and to use it sometimes for one of the two components in separation from the other is as injudicious as that other trick by which we use 'the meaning' here sometimes for the work that the whole double unit does and sometimes for the other component–the tenor, as I am calling it–the underlying idea or principal subject which the vehicle or figure means. It is not surprising that the detailed analysis of metaphors, if we attempt it with such slippery terms as these, sometimes feels like extracting cube-roots in the head."

The Tempest
A tropical storm over Florida (lower left) as described by William Shakespeare in 1611.
“Wind over Water” in the I Ching, Dissolving: Our revels now are ended. These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and are melted into air, into thin air: and, like the baseless fabric of this vision, the cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the great globe itself, yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve and, like this insubstantial pageant faded, leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep. (Prospero, IV.i) |
| "Every shade I choose is intentional, chosen to evoke specific feelings within those who view my work. Blue strokes embody tranquility, a gentle touch that calms the nerves like a whispered secret. Swirls of red radiate a symphony of joy, love, and passion, inviting observers to delve into the depth of human emotions. And then there’s orange — a hue that signifies intelligence, dedication, activity, and enthusiasm — a palette of emotions waiting to be explored." — Marcela Nowak |

Statement from the family of music man
Jerry Moss, who reportedly died yesterday
at 88 —
“They truly don’t make them like him anymore
and we will miss conversations with him about
everything under the sun,” the statement reads
in part, “the twinkle in his eyes as he approached
every moment ready for the next adventure.”
Twinkle, twinkle, Jena Malone . . .
"Formed in 1962, Alpert and Moss’ A&M (named after their initials)
label’s quarter-plus century run included some major blockbuster
albums, including Carole King’s Tapestry, Peter Frampton’s Frampton
Comes Alive!, and Alpert’s own Whipped Cream & Other Delights."
