it will comfort you
and look down on you
and make you happy in these times of trouble
and strife
and it will be a record of your living...

Can't buy art, as you certainly know v well (and so much as say, at various other times), so I'm amiably baffled by your adoption of this phrase. The rest of the comment is completely unimpaired by this innocuous construction, so I hesitate to mention it; except to observe that the artifact in this case can be counted on not just for this but a great deal else. I possess a few such things by people with whom I'm acquainted, too, and I think my mind is too weak to dismiss that consideration, but it also doesn't seem to want to. I take the full meaning of your phrase, "look down on," in exactly the way you intend it I think, and this is experience is much enlarged by unanonymous things ..
ReplyDeletefor years i drove a little red sports car with a "Buy Art" bumper sticker.
ReplyDeleteperhaps that litle refrain just plays in my mind carter... like a song.
i would so like people to purchase as much art as they take on line.
society would begin to hold some balance then i think.
and of course, royalties, which seem some ancient, distant consideration
are something close to my heart.
buying art from living artists... one of life's greatest pleasures...
If I drove a little red sports car (still), I would lease its bumpers for only the most soigné of stickers. "Buy Art" would strike me as the equal of the little contraption, itself, in rickety quirkiness, but I'd have to resist the impulse to discount in honour of the other consideration you name, royalties. But in your case, I'm guessing this was a right-hand-drive car, so your rates must have begun a little higher than ours were in Sausalito.
ReplyDeleteno one seems to make that sticker anymore...
