For a rainy day

Find a book on Philip Guston down to 19 euros (from 45 euros).

On page 36:

"The famous exchange that took place at Guston's studio when Feldman brought Cage to see Guston's recent paintings in the early 1950s summarizes their philosophical dialectics at the time. Cage's remark, "My God, it's possible to paint a magnificent picture about nothing" was rejoined by Feldman's, "But, John, it's about everything."

(Yesterday's post on 'Hejira' needs much more consideration of the performative aspect of her voice. How lines are actually delivered. And, inevitably, the music itself.)
