"All really good art is contemporary, meaning you get an excitement from it now."  David Hockney in interview in the spring 2009 issue of the journal Master Drawings, his self-portrait on the cover.

He was referring to Old Master drawings, of course, but I derive a satisfying sort of excitement from my new chandelier at the moment, and my friend Justin predicts that in the future it will cheer me up, at unexpected times.

And I want to join the Special Party for Good Boys.

Picasso moved into le Bateau-Lavoir in Montmartre with his dog Frika in 1904.
