LITTLE FISH BOOK AND MUSIC BY MICHAEL JOHN LACHIUSA CAME OUT AROUND THE SAME TIME I WAS INTRODUCED TO THE WORKS OF HORACE PIPPIN THROUGH A BLACK HISTORY MONTH AT THE MET.IT WAS STATED IN THE MOVIE THAT PIPPIN PAINTED ON EITHER PLANKS OR PLYWOOD. I DID NOT FIND THAT.HORACE PIPPINS SELF PORTRAIT AND LADY OF THE LAKE 1936 ARE IN A CORNER OF THE MET THAT IS ALWAYS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC EVEN IF THE ONE SECTION IS ROPED OFF.THE NEW YORK TIMES WAS RUNNING A BLACK AND WHITE ADD FOR LITTLE FISHES THAT WAS THE CLOSEST THING TO WHAT THE MOVIE DESCRIBED TO PIPPINS ART WORK.IN REALITY THE BROWNISH BANDS WERE BLUE.THE BLUE BANDS IN LITTLE FISH WERE USED TO SIGNIFY THE WATERS OF THE YMCA, AS THE ACTRESS STEPPED INSIDE AND SWAM, MOVING THE BANDS.THE SCENERY ITSELF WAS MULTIPLE LAYERS OF \"ABSTRACTION\", DISTRESSED STEEL MIRROR ETC.ABSTRACT ART, BEAMS WAS SAID TO COME INTO BEING AS A REACTION TO WAR, LITTLE FISH WAS DIRECTLY ABOUT POST 9-11 NEW YORK. SHE WANTS TO QUIT SMOKING AFTER 9-11.THURGGOD ON BROADWAY HAS A SLIDE OF STAIRS OF WHICH I WAS SO BUSY TRYING TO DRAW THEM BECAUSE THEY RESEMBLED PIPPINS BUT IN A MORE WAVE LIKE MANORPIPPINS LADY OF THE LAKE, OUTSIDE OF THE THURGGOD STAIRS, IS SIGNED SIMILAR TO AN IMAGE OF LONG ARM AND HAND THAT APPEARS IN JASPER JOHNS WORKS.WITHOUT GIVING YOU ALL OF THEM FOR FREE, UNTITLED 2002 INK ON PLASTER IS ONE AND TO SAVE AMERICA, UNTITLED 2001 GRAPHITE ACRYLIC AND WATERCOLOR ON IVORY WOVEN PAPER IS ANOTHER. AND BECAUSE I LOVE MY COUNTRY AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I GET FROM THEIRS, CATENARY I CALL TO THE GRAVE 1998 HAS THE MOST CLEAR HORACE PIPPIN \"H\"GEORGIA OKEEFE\'S RED AND YELLOW CLIFFS 1940 FOLLOWS THE KLEE GUTTER IMAGES WITH STARS THAT RESEMBLE PEOPLE WALKING AWAY AND THAT IMAGE IS FOUND IN MATISSE STILL LIFE AFTER JAN DAVIDSZ DE HEEMS \"LA DESSERTE\" SUMMER AUTUMN 1915 IN THE TOBACCOR BROWN AND YELLOW VASE IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER.THAT IMAGE OF A LINE IS NOW COMING INTO PLAY.IF THEY DID NOT SEEM TO BREAK MY SONY I\'D CALL IT UP RIGHT NOW.THAT WRAPS UP ABOUT 18 YEARS WORTH OF EXHIBITS. I WAS A RESIDENT OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND WHEN I SAW THE MATISSE AT MOMA. MY WORDS WILL STICK! ARTS, FINE
