| Transcript | 14 artist do that. Then have an author write a story around it — and incidentally explain fully whatever horrendous things are going on in the picture. Authors are supposed to be resourceful and imaginative, aren't they? From Cele Goldsmith I received at various times without warning in the mall the following pictures: 1. a satanic-looking chap in a botanic laboratory gloats over a potted plant in the midst of whose bloom a tiny woman is growing with hair like cornsilk; 2. a similar customer, bald,regards a cushioned hot plate on which a large egg is hatching; from a crack in the egg protrudes a clawed animal foot; the foot and claws are blue; 3* In the foreground two men and a woman look up concernedly; overhead is the moon, zoomed close so we can see her craters; the moon appears to be exploding; big chunks are coming out; 4. A giant two-headed serpent rears from the sea; riding the smaller head is a mahout with a bull- prod; he wears a spacesult colored orange, purple and red; in the background a small black vessel hovers above the waves; 5* A tarbooshed Arab loiters with a broom before a curio shop; within hangs a golden cage, inside which sits a slave girl; a yashmak conceals her face save for her urgent, enigmatic eyes. I do not know what other men might do faced by these prodigies, these bolts from the blue post office. |
