"Oh, Renoir"—it sounds like "au revoir." It sounds like the exclamation of a sculpture connoisseur! Together, it sounds like a farewell to bloated artistic declarations.
"A Journal"—A locked and flowery journal written in by a twelve-year-old girl. A scholarly journal. ((As s)cholar.) The combination of which—twelve-year-old girl scholar—seems apt enough, if not particularly apt, of describing the mental trappings of so many of our college-educated twenty-something peers. An eagerness in the wrong direction. Knowledge funneled through inexperience. Curiosity will kill our cool cats. Really, this is a sketchbook.

hey Daniel. happy halloween. I checked out yr link to homoerotic Nazi / German art. Fascinating. Do you know that book The Beautiful Boy by Germaine Greer? Her thesis is that, until the 1800s or thereabouts, the male form was the main trope in art, not the female.
