[Anny Ballardini]

very refined work, it gives me an idea for hopefully a future work I am trying to put together.

  Yesterday at St. Joseph College in West Hartford CT
  I saw an exhibit of these prints by Robert Motherwell
  related to the poem sequence by Rafael Alberti
  called "A la pintura" (To painting). A very elegant combination 
  of aquatint prints and letterpress text in English translation 
  and the original Spanish. 

  If you every have a chance to see these prints on display, 
  go see them. (And don't wait to the last day I did, because 
  you might want to revisit them while they're up.)

  There's a lovely introduction to the poetry by Alberti
  where he talks about how he first came to know real
  painting when he got to the Prado museum. Before
  then he had only seen bad/faded reproductions that had
  made their way to the village in which he lived.
