Shout-out to the L-Dawg

A classic Art in New York day today. We caught Hellenistic, Cypriote, Minoan and Roman sculpture. We also visited and analyzed the ritual art of Africa, South America and Australia. Checking in with a scholar on Aboriginal bark painting I got word that the figure in the example we examined was-likely-made from "power points" which are derivative of stars and--in fact--the bird/god is seen in x-ray. When such a creature vomits, a part of creation is made. Most strange, and surprising too. By the end of the day, we finally got to the Met's roof sculpture garden where they are presently cultivating a crop of Jeff Koons creations. Here's a shot of the gang giving a shout-out to the L-dawg, who couldn't be there as she found the depictions of Eve too offensive to revisit. Click on the photo to download the big-un. Word.
