Slave Auction


Jean Leon Gerome was a typically aloof Frenchman who romanticized life and death as if he was a god fiddling with the lives of his creations. Patrick featured a painting of his in a cock-tale, that evoked memories of this painting, a replica of which still hangs in a Manhattan apartment of mine.

The guy could draw the absolute shit out of a canvas. Maybe some time I'll talk about where one might still be witness to such goings on.
