I have found all sorts of other strange things hidden in the multitude of crazy details however.<br /><br />I'll keep searching for that mushroom cloud with the devils face. <br /><br />Reminds me of the good old Weekly World News. They were always spotting the devils face in something. <br /><br />I must check out Guy Davenport. I think I'll pick up a copy of<i>The Death of Picasso</i>.David Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03751529612011611340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8845378511014918642.post-52828736435819305042011-02-03T07:37:49.654-08:002011-02-03T07:37:49.654-08:00David, reading an essay by Guy Davenport last nigh...David, reading an essay by Guy Davenport last night called "The House That Jack Built", Davenport notes that "a mushroom cloud shaped like a skull" appears in the painting "Phenomena" by Pavel Tchelitchew. This was painted nine years before Hiroshima, and apparently held great significance for the poet William Carlos Williams.<br /><br />Cheers!Makif'athttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324448755764376914noreply@blogger.com
