THEATER OF THE ABSURD

 The news is stuffed with things I don't really care about. It is nothing but a compendium of things that have happened before and will happen again and the only difference now is that the suffering of people I could care about is lessened by removal of so many communists, socialists and actual nazis from power in this country. There is still room for improvement but it happens slowly now as we move into the more familiar territory of 'incremental progress.' So be it.

The highlight of the news today, this painting long attributed to Canaletto was actually painted by

The Grand Canal Venice
his nephew Canaletto

The wonder of it all. I was staggered to learn that it was by Canaletto, but not himself. As you can see, the world of Art History moves pretty fast. You have to struggle to keep up.
