I found the quote below while poking around in old sketchbooks this afternoon. I think I got this quote from a Dada exhibition at the Neue Gallerie back in early 2005 or so. Nope, sorry. I just looked it up. I was an exhibition of German humor art called Comic Grotesque: Wit and Mockery in German Art, 1870—1940. (As I recall, German "humor" art wasn't particularly funny.) Anyway, here's the quote . . .
Makers of grotesques take the whip to everything humans hold sacred in order to replace it, at lease invisibly, with the divine.
--Salomo Friedlaender (aka Mynona)
Usual routine today. Up early, over to Gantry Plaza to read for a few hours. I left, got some sushi, a minneola and few peanut butter cookies, came back and self-picnicked. Then over to the studio to pick at a few things and watch the sun go down on the roof. Like I said, usual routine.
