ART
Poseur – gearhead
Judgement, selectivity, vision
For an army to advance men must be sacrificial
In your (work business career)
you must lose to advance
To advance in your art things must be sacrificial
Cuban people are among the most beautiful in the world – dance laugh
In Cube there is no difference between high culture and popular music
Castro – the Greco – Dali – erect Dig – [?]
Cash Cow artist
[?] A wise man can act the fool
But the fool cannot act a wise man

Original Format

Ballpoint pen, felt-tipped pen, and pencil on paper.
