So much to tell. But the Gay Mother on the phone. We went to a Hallowe’en Party in a Council premises. The Multis gained with Bollinger.
Perfectly astonishing.
Such themes as well, all weaving in by chance (apparently) with that exhibition I was telling you about in Florence at the Palazzo Strozzi entitled ‘Money and Beauty’. It showed how the patronage of the Medicis produced a great flowering of more sensual, almost pagan art, such as Botticelli’s Primavera but it all ended up with Savonarola, who burned the lot in a fit of Puritan pique but was burned himself almost at once. You might be reminded of the protesters camped outside St Paul’s today.
We’ve been greatly concerned with money and its justification, as you know.
But no time now. Just a few pictures to be going on with..

All Hallow’s Eve c. Witching Hour saw me creaking in Cat Woman’s latex while scribbling the last of the morning’s lecture: which I gave while resembling the second graph. Cockles warmed to see Purbeck elevated to art god status.
Isn’t Purbeck astonishing? Thank God the Multis have bought his paintings and fueled him. Did you lecture in latex? I do approve of the last min. inspiration. Nothing worse than planning
No latex this time … I doubt the students could cope (o pity the children!) though I have apparently inspired “theories” …
