Fleur de Malley: Notes for the Anatomy of Modern Art



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;    200 Andy's soup cans



                   & assembly-line Marilyns    (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    (semi-optic=semiotics?]



            Henry Moore's navel manoeuvres    (or caves of armpits!)



an Eiffel of Delaunay  //  Voyeurisme:  French verb 'lorgner', to make eyes at



                                        feet of Klee



balls by Picasso - is this a cliché?; this is a cliché; a cliché', this is - so cut!



                                       balls by Braque



      bulls cum bike saddles by Picasso    (Pablo = bull artist?)



                      spermatozoa from Miro      (cut that out?!)



                                     decoupages & gouaches of Matisse



Dali's clocks runny as organic Gaudi  (Surrealism runs 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)



masks:    African bush ranging to Ned Kelly's armour - Nolanscape = Pollock



    Meret Oppenheimer's Dinner in Fur    (art as meal ticket)



                        cypresses - mere trees pre-Vincent



Toulouse-Lautrec's follies @ Moulin Rouge, clay pipe, absinthe



                             Magritte's fey pipe



                is not a pipe but a pigment of the imagination



N.B. trompe l'oeil = EYE - CON



Fleur du Malley, scion of a hapless aristocratic émigré family from the Mallais who exchanged the Jacobin Terror for the Australian Terra, squatted in the backwoods of the Victorian frontier. Inspired by the local treescape, she australianised her name. Then under the tutelage of her showman beau, M. de Laire, Fleur flourished in the bush, to soon become the enfant terrible of Australo-French Letters.
