:55:07
Well? Well?
:55:09
One morning, I wish you'd just say,
"Good morning. How did you pass the night?
:55:12
The lovely Mrs. Rothman?
Your children in good health, I trust?"
:55:15
You're such a bourgeois.
Any news?
:55:18
Yes, l'm meeting an American
dentist. A big collector.
:55:20
Mensch!
That's good, isn't it?
:55:23
lf I see you anywhere
near that building,
:55:25
l will personally set fire
to your entire life's work.
:55:28
Speaking of which, when am l
going to see something new?.
:55:30
- Soon, soon.
- I need new things.
:55:33
l'm very motivated by newness.
Newness really does it for me.
:55:38
There's Dr. and Mrs. Levi.
Hello!
:55:41
Ah, Levi, huh? You'll make
the sale for sure, huh?
:55:52
What can one say
about Paul Klee
:55:54
that hasn't been said
100 times before?
:56:03
And on the other end
of the spectrum,
:56:05
there's a young artist
l've discovered recently
:56:08
named Hitler.
Less aggressively modern perhaps,
:56:10
but a real example...
:56:13
of what I call
"Krieg Kunst."
:56:15
- War art?
- Precisely, Doctor, precisely.
:56:17
Not as mannered
or tutored as Max Ernst,
:56:20
but a very authentic voice
of the trenches.
:56:22
The voice of the everyman.
:56:24
The voice of
the unknown soldier.
:56:26
And as a gesture of solidarity
with Soviet constructivism,
:56:28
l would only ask five marks
for these pieces.
:56:32
Hard to go wrong
for five marks.
:56:35
What do you think,
darling?
