Beckett's ascent to the scouring room just beyond the elevator, for example, is straight out of a Hermetic Library. Rather like Frida Kahlo's non-surrealism, it's a branch of surrealism that loops back happily to a more Medieval idea of dreams. Less about the Freudian oddness of objects, much more about getting a kick out of symbols.slepkanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830471126428428384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532889137549821886.post-86663965427461776692013-12-03T15:23:08.067+00:002013-12-03T15:23:08.067+00:00Sad face.

About a year or so ago I liked the You Tube link to Dennis Cooper's blog as part of my "Le Petit MacMahon de David Ehernstein" series. It's a lovely piece of American surrealism in the tradition of Joseph Cornell. No wonder it was never released. It's casual sophistication is too much for The Suits.DavidEhrensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016905507543736049noreply@blogger.com
