This is a quote from The Island in the Moon, remembered from - what, 1973? - I could look it up but I won't. It's a great text, even if the above quote has been distorted by the years. Possibly the first ever piece of Science Fiction. And still the funniest.
Steve, the Seliger book by O'Connor arrived (978-1555952327). You need it. I'm planning another post about him, and I'll definitely add some more description to this post.
Thanks for sharing these great works from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's holdings. The Smithsonian Institution has a lot of branches - perhaps you could update the posting to note that the works are held by SAAM, not the Smithsonian Institution Archives, which is a different unit?

ReplyDeleteWow - these are astonishing and eerie.
