Wednesday, 16th, March

Hi All,
I'll be in the Library from about 9.00 to go over our presentation one more time. I reckon, if we do 2.5 minutes each, it will give us time for 'any questions' and the handouts. Is this ok with you?
Bev

ps. You'd better be there tomorrow!!

Handouts!

Bev and Kirsty,

Cos I'm a sad sod............ and the Cherry Pie I've just made is really bad............... I've compiled some handouts, printed them off, and made up some Presentation Files!!!!

Hope you like them........ they are better than the Cherry Pie!!

soft watches

From: Lambert R., (1991), The Cambridge Introduction to Art - The Twentieth Century, Cambridge University Press.

Dali's soft watches have their origin in a pun. In this case a pun about putting out your tongue, la montre moll, which also means a soft watch. So watches are painted like soft tongues.
