why is VICTORIA laughing at the Sun

[Dave Monroe]

... you know, Terrance, looking at the times you posted at last night,
my friend and I would have been talking about, say, Adamite sun/moon
imagery, textbook illustrations of ellipses and the shadows they cast
(both as sources for imagery in Max Ernst's paintings), Max Ernst's
Loplop paintings (speaking of "bird-headed people"--and my very first
college paper was on "bird-headed people" in the paintings of Max
Ernst), palimpsests, and the creeps Rome gave Freud precisely as a
palimpsest of the dead of sorts, just as you were posting.  Talk about
yr synchronicity ...

Anyway, a couple of references you might be interested in.

Barker, Steven, ed.  Excavations and Their Objects:
    Freud's Collection of Antiquity.  Albany: SUNY Press, 1995.

Spies, Werner.  Loplop: The Artist in the Third Person.
    New York: George Braziller, 1983.
