absolutely amazing and deeply lovely.
fljotsdale - you are, without doubt, the most revolting philistine it has ever been my misfortune to meet [img]smile.gif[/img] i still love you, though. kiss, kiss.
modernism was one of the hardest modules i ever did - possibly, in retrospect, because the lecturers couldn't quite explain what they meant, it's history or its application to contemporary and post modern art. think yourself lucky, lady, that you never had to wade through the likes of ezra ****** pound and associated artists, architects and writers. by the end of it i understood pretty thoroughly what is was all about - the politics and history if the movement in particular. the actual 'art' was never a problem as it was so obviously kicking against the pricks!
you like my collages though? they're post modern, you know (which is far worse tee, hee).
hope the t.v. thing was fun. speak to you later.
at some point we may meet again. p.s. what are you doing for the winter festival thingy? you may wish to eat at my house - got the boys' possibly also paul and his brother. let me know if you fancy it.
Hiya, sweetie-pie! Yeah, I agree about the Superman thingie... fantastic.
I like your art, my love, even if it is post-modern! But I never could get my head round post-modernism and I'm VERY glad we only touched on it briefly in MY literature studies, lol! Gimme Chaucer anyday! Great writing and some very... er... how shall I say?... um... shockingly LEWD stories, lol! Also some rather boring ones!
It's not that I'm too old to appreciate post-modernism - I just don't have the faintest desire to!
Never liked anything I ever read by Ezra Pound. TS Eliot I like, though.
Winter holiday suggestion might be fun...
The tv programme was good!
Saz or Memnoch, or any mod who sees this.... can you move all the 'arty' stuff in this thread to a new thread in the General Discussions forum? I think a lot of other people might like to join in.
