Title
Note on Art
Subject
A note from LeRoy Neiman on artistic reference, including Polish and Irish art.
Description
This note from LeRoy Neiman provides an obtuse list of art historical movements and styles, bookended by detailed references to "Polish" and "Irish" "lexicons". Although it proves unclear what the exact connection between the listed items is, the catalogue can be seen as abstract compendium of artistic influence and reference. The note was most likely written in the early stages of writing All Told, Neiman's memoir, explaining the fractal quality. That said, tonal range of the record sets it apart from other notes that may have served the same function.
