From John Oliver To Jasper Johns

____________________________________________________________________________________

We now go...

Through the looking glass

&

Through the calendar.

Taking us back an
April fortnight,

Returning to the KMA:

Katonah Museum of Art

The featured exhibit was Jasper Johns & John Lund: Masters in the Print Studio

Untitled, 1998

Mr. & Mrs. CarPeo
arrived just in time
for a docent tour.

Shrinky Dink 3, 2011

The docent was
very articulate.

There were
a dozen people
in her tour.

One of them
had something
to say about
every piece

But it wasn't me.

I said just enough
to get the docent
interested in post-
tour conversation
about this, that,
and the other
thing.

Flag on Orange, 1998

Jasper Johns has
famously painted
American Flags

&

Numbers.

But only one
Bushbaby and
only one tour
member knew
what a bushbaby is.

That was Mrs. CarPeo.
She knows her monkeys.

Bushbaby, 2004
