Michael:

As you recall, we were laughing at a statement by Degas yesterday during our West Coast Blowhards Seminar, conducted at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. Given your enjoyment of Degas' cranky pith, I thought you'd get a kick out of an (apparently approving) remark he made in his 80s, regarding Cubism:

..[I]t seems even more difficult than painting.

If I could be sure of finding such wit, I'd start my own damn salon.

Cheers,

Friedrich

P.S.--Exclusive photo documentation of this great inaugural Blowhard Seminar will be forthcoming as soon as we Blowhards get our acts together. (Hey, we're working on it.)

I'll be stealing that for sure.
