Of COURSE, Mr. Junior Club Champion.
One hand clapping against the glass. That one seems rather obvious, now
that you point it out.
You remind me of something. Jean Daumier-Smith is featured rather
prominently in a small gallery in a back cubbyhole of the Art Institute
in Chicago. I ran across it again the other day. I'd forgotten all
about it.
It seems that though he was quite an artist in all respects, he was
particularly well-known for his caricature work. He had a talent for
seeing, and portraying vividly, the truth about a famous person about
town. Interesting, no? That de Daumier-Smith should have picked that
particular artist for his namesake?
So add that information to the already-discussed harlequins. Masks and
seeing through them.
Yr. mt. obt. & hmbl. svt.,
Cecilia.
