Posted about 1 month ago Subject: Herbert Von Stickler (I.D.N.Q.) Dear Mr. Mcclure, I am writing to you in respect of the "Blogman Review". In retrospect it must be said that we at GNN have to sell "News Papers" & Geometric Art, academic though it be, is of minority interest; what sells is kitsch, erotica, wars, disasters, celebrities, & sport; people are like sheep & the truly discerning are thin on the ground...much is written about nothing at all; hype & illusion is used to sell products (especially art) that have no innate value. Life is a lottery & sometimes people with real talent "make it" i.e. get recognition if not before they die then posthumously but many very worthy souls never ever do! Maybe we as a species have to evolve a lot more to be able to perceive truly unique work & Geometric Art in particular before it can take its place in the Pantheon of Historically Great Art. Now back to "Zen & the Art of Selling News"...By the gathering of intelligence & its expedient use, by dele-gating to highly trained & loyal staff and allowing them to maximize their full potential/imagination, by giving them full respect & recognising that "the boss" does not have exclusivity on good ideas...that is how we operate here at GNN & "I-Don't-Need-Qualifications"... We also have our "ways & means" of getting information, we therefor know a lot about you Mr. Mcclure and believe it or not I respect your artistic integrity & your frugal life-style. So we come to business...i have enclosed a money order for $20,000 for the purchase of one of your recent paintings to be selected by you; also our company will purchase one of your Geometric Paintings on an annual basis (say every December) created in that year, to be selected by you and priced at your discretion... Do we have a Deal? We are very keen to decorate our head office with your work. I know one cannot put a value on "Real Art" & I do hope you will not be offended by the offer of money for your work; I know your best work has yet to come...all i am offering is some peace of mind and a little security. "The mind is not an empty vessel but a fire that needs stoking"...so said Plutarch. Mr. Mcclure the fire in you is burning bright & may it continue-for years to come... WELCOME TO THE ICONS OF THE FUTURE... Geometric Art is nature's template & transmutes matter So you see Mr. Mcclure we here at GNN have an open mind & like to stimulate debate. Respectfully yours,
Herbert Von Stickler (I.D.N.Q.) |
