Later, mingling a bit with the groundlings in the grandstand after the $100,000 Queen...

A case in point is Russian Constructivist Sculptor Vladimir Baranoff-Rossine's Symphony No. 1, 1913, a figure done in swoops and slats of painted wood that one would swear-if there were not clear evidence that he had I never seen it - was based on an openwork Baga bird headI dress from Guinea in the Musee de 1'Homme in Paris...
