About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

TT: Lost illusions

September 20, 2005 by Terry Teachout

I’d hoped to put together a nice big juicy posting of links to other artblogs and art-related sites, but it just didn’t happen and won’t until tomorrow, if then. Lots of other things happened instead, nearly all of them work-related, though two were strictly private: I picked up my new Bonnard lithograph (which is now being framed) and got my hair cut, the latter a mere two weeks late! I looked soooo unkempt and uncared-for a mere twenty-four hours ago, but now I’m nice and neat again….


Anyway, I doubt I’ll have anything more for you until Wednesday, but hope springs eternal. In the meantime, go look at some of those other cool blogs listed in the right-hand column, O.K.?
