This time, I read some of the correspondence. It is fascinating. I'm just sorry I didn't get snaps of some of the other letters. Ansel Adams had gorgeous stationery. <br /><br />And GBS actually had more to say about his Valasquez statement. I think it's fairly clear, in the context of criticism, that Shaw was promoting a newish art form and legitimizing it.Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-70357319944127111152011-01-02T18:24:09.504-06:002011-01-02T18:24:09.504-06:00Interesting quote about Velasquez.

(And this is just from an English Lit course that I remember from UCLA), his mother supported him until well into his 40's; his belief being that genius should always be supported, especially by those who have none.<br /><br />I believe, though married to an heiress, he spent a great deal of time trying to woo Mrs. Patrick Campbell (in letters, only). She once wrote to him, "when you were quite a little boy somebody ought to have said 'hush' just once."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-78731522789350727342011-01-02T15:30:03.416-06:002011-01-02T15:30:03.416-06:00Some new food for thought this Year of the Rabbit,...Some new food for thought this Year of the Rabbit, 2011: words AND images.

Shaw and Oscar Wilde to start with. <br /><br />I'm serious.
