The Dab Struts While The Chorus Fixates/ Redux Redux

October 2020 - May 2024

​

  As surely you recall, shortly before The National Election 2020, I inserted Giambattista Tiepolo and Jack Levine into a test tube, stirred and poured. Dab Warden just trod, blithely through the mix with an arrogance akin but different than Gustave Courbet.

  Also arrogant (insubordinate) was Appeles, Royal Painter to Alexander and commissioned under watch to paint Imperial Power's Cigarette Gal, Campaspe. Instead, the artist went off point and rendered The Loser/ The Loser prior to November, as if wishing & hoping would make it so.

Then and in this REDUX, I imagine a benevolent, wise and forgiving Alexander. It is not as if we ran off with his girl, cuckolding The Patron. We merely wanted to stomp mercilessly upon The Wannabe Tyrant with minimal disrespect to Wise Alex. Now we can see social media readily creates Monsters and any head might roll.
