Although I visited the Yale Museum, I didn't have time to explore the galleries of Modern art.

The wall with the Hoppers, et al (note how my memory finds the most familiar name first), is well arranged. The Pippin is, perhaps, a token, if the theme is light.

The story of how Yale beat Barr is a good one. You are an entertaining narrative writer.

Haring might not have been a great artist, but he was original & fun.

Basquiat threw up anything on paper or canvas, and like Pollack, was too lazy to craft a finished work. Even abstract paintings require care in execution.

I'm probably even more reactionary than you.

I'll add it to my list of ideas to write about.

It's a bit long right now, especially if I can't get my book published
