the absinthe drinker

here's another picasso. he's my favorite painter by far. "picasso gives you things which bulge:grunting lungs pumped full of sharp thick mind" -- ee cummings

my writing leans much onto his painting. and it's still learning "to break up the white light of objective realism into the secret glories which it contains." he was one of the few painters who used humor too.

but the whore in this painting... there's something strangely sexy about her. she's got madness in her eyes. something completely sick, like an open nerve ending touched by a slight breeze (slighted by a touched breeze). i understand how she feels. and that's where picasso's genius comes in.
