Erik is wondering about us. It is time to get some things done. A picture of Satie is just right because Paris in the pre-war years was the apex of the many arts influencing each other. Picasso often walked with Satie from the dingy suburbs into the city; Satie wrote cubist music with oddball, strikingly visual, titles. Along with Cocteau and Diagliev, they launched some pretty radical theater and ballet. Satie earned his living playing in can-can and caberet clubs, it was only later that his friends made him famous.
So, for now, he's the patron saint. And remember: there is a big Kandinsky show opening in NYC this September...
