Monday After A Movie

Here's a nice little piece on Brent Green.




"Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then" screened last week at The Kitchen.

On second screening it was no less powerful than the first. This time we were treated to live accompaniment and Mr. Green's live narration -with only a few stray lines not in the film's script.

The effect of the film is largely musical. It's a roll of tones and tempos with finishes in a great crescendo (and denouement).

I've long believed that film was a visual approximation of music. Here we have symphony.

A La Mode

Today I had planned on writing about Brent Green's "Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then" which just finished a two-night stint at The Kitchen.

Last night was the second time I've seen it. This one with live accompaniment.

I figured I'd be able to pull together something cogent after having already screened it once. No, it's still a little raw. Maybe it's for the best. Maybe there are no words to do it justice.

And then, I had planned on a tribute to Fashion Week for Sunday by showcasing some Covarrubius drawings.

I can't find the book, though.

I did find this uncredited illustration in another book. I like it.

The designers are credited as is the magazine in which it originally appear.

And I had always planned on sharing our pencil sharpener. A gift many years from Kate Hambrecht.

It was being discarded when she worked at Cosmopolitan Magazine.

We are certain that models used it to sharpen their pencils.
