jefff

think andy's is right there...
almost two different people....
most organized person i have ever seen/met...
immaculate storage shelves holding partials of every
poster...paper...pieces...etc...etc... that could be re-interpreted in his manner....so if i see him as depicted...all is in correct order...order in chaos and chaos in order...opposites which are separated by a thin
line we must constantly cross to view...feel...message the other side...was a memorable occasion for me...

He was something of a child prodigy, painting from an early age, and by his twenties was selling his works all over Europe. He was highly conscious of his public image and reputation and I believe we can see that in this self-portrait which depicts him in an idealized way, elaborately groomed and dressed in the very latest Italian fashion to demonstrate to the world his international success. Although he was only a young man at the time, he was clearly confident of his talent and aiming to go far.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5;
