Now that the Oscar parties have gone for this season and that the atmosphere hath born such devastating storms within the heartland, it may give some small comfort to attend, at least in pictures, the grand stand illusions of what has past. Lets start with an elegant black hand providing service in between the valley of pinstripe diagonals…This image is from the book The Vanities published by Schirmer Mosel.

Cut this picture out and use it as an invite to the grand events of the following year…
expect to be arrested at the door…it’s a hands on, hands off world.

Enjoy,

Larry Fink
