Van Gogh’s ear + sunflowers (lots 43 + 44) the mo of Salvador Dali or Mona Lisa a whole raft of Medusas Francis Bacon’s raw hams; popes as orang-outangs viz de Chirico’s dummies; & assembly-line Marilyns

200 Andy’s soup cans (acidic on acrylic?)

David Hockney’s cheeks in cool L.A. chic the urinary tract of Marcel Duchamp

(in trad. of Pissarro?)

Bridget Riley’s ops: intestines & colons Henry Moore’s navel manoeuvres

(semi-optic = semiotics?) (or caves of armpits!)

an Eiffel of Delaunay // Voyeurisme: ‘lorgner’ (Fr.), to make eyes at feet of Klee balls by Picasso – is this a cliché?; this is a cliché; a cliché, this is – cut! balls by Braque bulls cum bike saddles by Picasso spermatozoa from Miro

(Pablo = bull artist?) (cut that out?!)

decoupages & gouaches of Matisse Dali’s clocks runny as organic Gaudi (Surrealism rampant on Ramblas!) Monet’s haystacks, lilies, caths like molten ice cream

(Rouen in ruins)

Munch’s Madonnas/Liliths, sickrooms – i scream! Mont Ste Victoire, apples/peaches of Cezanne bathers (viz Seurat, Picasso et al), bouteilles de vin (viz almost anyone)
