So, there you are. That’s it.

A few points come to mind:

  • These two films are like a membrane between life and death. You feel, I feel, the dirt, heat, sweat, and salt of life and death.

I liked them both. Géricault was very moving. What he did in his short short life was powerful. I also like Guston: the thing about his late paintings is that they are finished, they are just there, they have a simple and genuine sense of completeness.

I really only know about him as a friend of Hemmingway’s, and as a contemporary of said author as well as of James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound, all authors and poets I love.

It was a beautiful concert. My first time seeing him. So I am making progress in seeing everyone I deem important.
