...the realist who studies our
²thin atomic Vast,
The rare-point sparse substratum Universe
On which floats a solid world's phenomenal face."
There is the future abstract painter?
Rich--Cool, yes. Savitri?
Yes; Savitri: great epic poem;.)
I love this sketch. You can see plainly that the artist is living kind of hand-to-mouth, not making much money on the sketches he does for his bourgeois patrons. Yet they aren't portrayed as vain or haughty; Cucuel has drawn them all just as they are.
