  1. ...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?

  3. 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.
