This postcard delivered by Royal Mail. A postcard from a friend. Brian. Not so usual these days. To get something in the post, personal signature and a message. Much appreciated better than a bank statement or junk mail selling insurance. Nowadays it's a facebook thumbs up or an email. Brian's message was handwritten with a fountain pen. Cy Twombly died last week. An artist I don't know much about in fact I know damn all about him. Now he's dead I'll begin to appreciate him. Roy Orbison. Marvin Gaye. Arthur Worsley. I think I remember reading somewhere that Paul McCartney owned a Cy Twombly. I like the name Harper as well. Cy whats that short for? Resignation? Brian tells me it is impossible to post a comment on this bleedin' blog Flogging the dog he says it's more like floggin' a dead bleedin' horse......anyone else having the same problem because I don't appear to get much reaction but maybe that is because of the dull nature of my waste. I do feel like knocking this on the head.
Please keep posting David this is by far the best blog I have read. Honestly. 90 followers can't be wrong! Maybe they're shy?
ReplyDeleteI went to see the Twombly show at the Tate in 08. I bought a Twombly tote bag and it looked like had slaughtered someone.
Cy did beautiful graffiti?
Don't stop... disconnected mutterings and beautiful drawing are what this World needs!
ReplyDeleteDon't think I can stop it has become compulsive. What this world needs is a damn good drink. By the way Steve will you be at Mr. Thomas's Chop House tonight? If so stick a letter X in the centre of Mr. Casey's back for me. Cheers.
