EXCERPT FROM FRANK SMIGIEL ON DAVID HOCKNEY

“”

As the Hockney fan, what I love is the very personal world depicted in his works—a world that the fan seeks out. And so my search for Shirley Goldfarb. Warhol is glacial, unremitting, and unforgiving—that is his power. Hockney is familial, intimate, and warm. If “kids” today, including me, look to him for the possibilities of painting, it is because his works depict and open up personality. They suggest the lived world of lovers and friends. And they introduce us to folks like Gregory Masurovsky and Shirley Goldfarb, folks we should have known as well—even if Shirley’s solitary walks and café sojourns said “No.” No one in a Hockney is a “nobody,” because such a category, as he reminds us, does not exist. A lá Shirley Goldfarb, we are each our own event.

Jillayne has been going through some old boxes- I pulled a couple of photos I liked out of the stack.

Not a 1:1 ratio or anything, but something similar seems to be going on here.

I THINK THE FOLLOWING RULES WILL COVER MOST CASES :

chris — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 06:38:27 +0000

“”

(i) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

(ii) Never us a long word where a short one will do.

(iii) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

(iv) Never use the passive where you can use the active.

(v) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

(vi) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

from George Orwell’s Politics and the English Language (1946)
