what I am reading

I bought this book yesterday and finished it. It is hilarious and a must -read for those who still actually open these musty things called books. Most artists cannot write, in fact, most artists do little aside from sit in cafe's and talk and smoke. as dumb as most artists are they are generally smart enough to hide what they are not good at so they work on a single skill until the become passable and if they are lucky perhaps they can coax a golden egg from the goose of their labor. I have met very few artists who know how to swim in the sea of words. Dali was a masterful writer and he had a great wit about him. I find his humor at its best as he pokes fun at other artists...e.g calling Matisse a painter of seaweed etc etc. Dali was a polymath in the first degree and his mind is worth dissecting because he had some very valid insights into the con-game that is modern art.
