You are right. I too have seen deKoonings that I have liked a lot.

And, Jean Magnano-Bollinger.

She peeked. Her temptation is my jealousy of a thought so well-formed.

I hope that you will do a post on it for A&P. Arthur and Steve, I have not been able to find out much more about Jean Magnano-Bollinger's work. Perhaps, Karl can found out more for us when he goes to NYC after his vacation. Arthur,

Arthur and Steve,

I have not been able to find out much more about Jean Magnano-Bollinger’s work. Perhaps, Karl can found out more for us when he goes to NYC after his vacation.

I will read WJ. He sounds like a neat guy. I very much liked one of deK's paintings at the Met exhibition, about a decade ago. It was of a mountain side. D.

Here is my favorite WJ story: WJ was teaching Philosophy (Pragmatism) at Harvard and really did not like it so much: rules, pretensions, etc. He was told that he had to give a final exam which seemed ridiculous to him and absolutely contrary to his thinking/teaching. Gertrude Stein was in his class and on the day of the final, as it was a beautiful spring day, she decided not to take the exam. Instead she wrote a note to James saying that because the day was so splendid, she was taking a walk along the Charles. The consequences: She got an A. deK? Certainly deK was losing his facilities at the end (who doesn't?), but I find no useful connection as it relates to his "abstraction". For him, it was a continual process over many, many years. There is a very good biography on deK that came out several years ago. I still don't like him. Brigit,

WJ?
