So we begin with what appears to be Manhattan, "Vehement silhouettes of Manhattan that vertical city with unimaginable diamonds" .....as Le Corbusier said it so well.....

Ah vertical is often captured in most art .... everywhere we go...."To be great, art has to point somewhere." - Anne Lamott

"The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly." - Aldous Huxley

"The timelessness of a concept has to be woven into the running warp of dying time, vertical power has to be wedded to the horizontal earth."  - Ella Maillart

Oh yes, a work in progress...it offers us with a sense of place.....illuminating and insightful....

"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life"....-Pablo Picasso

"Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it."- Bertolt Brecht
