Question: are we the same person? I LOVE Magritte! He is probably my favorite artist. I need to get a frame for the print I bought of "The Treachery of Images". I saw an amazing exhibit that had Magritte and artists inspired by Magritte where I also fell in love with Jeff Koons because his metal balloon animals make me tingle.
Srsly, are we the same person, because your favorite authors list--same. Though I haven't read any Samuel Beckett. I used to read "Of Mice and Men" every summer. Sick, I know. I was in an airport bookstore last week with a 3 hour slot of time to fill. I went into the bookstore to buy Twilight so I could learn what everyone is talking about and instead walked out with Deepak Chopra's "Buddha". Amazing.
Hahahaha, Answer: No, but we are definitely blood brothers. Also: bosom buddies. You are the Milo to my Otis.
TARRA: Tell me, tell me, tell me that you have seen Jeff Koons' gold and white ceramic masterpiece of Michael Jackson and his monkey, Bubbles. You of all my most kindred of friends would appreciate said piece. It's in the SFMOMA. You are close enough. Go there. Find it. I'll send you a picture link. I will check out Chopra if you will check out "Waiting for Godot." Once you read Godot, YouTube Monsterpiece Theatre's "Waiting for Elmo." So excellent. So choice. I love when you comment here. Don't be a stranger.
Oh, goodness. Look what we have in common again. Magritte does blow my mindgrapes. My two favorite paintings at the MOMA were (before they took them down) The Park by Klimt and The Lovers by Magritte.
Yeah, remember when I wrote that ridiculous poem about it and you made me read it at Samuelson's place? I was all spazzy and laughy? Then, I went to the SFMOMA with E.L. Pew and the damn thing was in storage. For crying out loud.
Also, hahaha, so what if I did happen to see the google searchbar yesterday morning? Get out of my head, Grift! Quit judging me! lol bff jk rowling
Oh I am ridiculously envious. Darren, how? How could one make the sticker? I must have this. Must. As a Christmas present to me, point me in the right direction.
I have never seen this painting--I fell in love with Magritte during a senior poetry class when I was an undergrad. The class was all about prose poems, which I had never heard of before the class, and which are typically offbeat, surreal, and sometimes odd. I remember in the intro, the author of our text book collection of prose poems talked all about how prose poetry began in Beligium, and he compared prose poetry to the art of Rene(imagine the e has an accent over it) Magritte.
I had seen the "Son of Man" before, but didn't know anything about Magritte before that class, but then I got into all his crazy cool funky pretty art.
And now I sound all scholarly-pretentious, when really all I wanted to say was, "I like Magritte, too." As Jennifer Lopez would say, "H-birth to R-Mag."

Darren keeps teaching me how to make hyper links and I keep forgetting. So if you want to look at it copy and paste like God intended you to.
James, I totally use The Lovers in my freshman comp. classes--I dig the conversations they start up from it.
Also, Klimt. You should look at The Kiss and then read Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem about said painting. Hey, are you going to AWP this year????
getting your blog cues from the google searchbar? i like it.
musee de beaux arts has a massive selection...it seemed like dz and i were following versions of Empire of Light all over Europe.
And porcelain Michael and Bubbles seconded. It's like seeing God. When did you see the MJ statue, Gillz? Did we talk about this?

one more thing, if i had a mac, i would totally do this Son of Man sweetness done.
making a sticker of that wouldn't be difficult at all even. even that. even at all.
