“The only angels in Los Angeles are in heaven, and they’re looking down on the Dodgers.”   —   Tommy Lasorda

(I’m guessing that was a shot at the California/Los Angeles Angels . . . of Anaheim.  LA is Dodger-town!  I can’t imagine there are that many Angels’ fans in LA, but LA is SO vast.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Seated Harlequin, 1923

In the Harlequin featured to the left, no mask is suggested, but the lines are somewhat thicker, barely. The painting is also dated 1923. These two depictions of the Harlequin therefore follow the production of Stravinsky‘s Pulcinella, first performed in 1920. Both characters are zanni, or servants, but Harlequin is the smarter zanno. Picasso’s depictions of Harlequin do not show a theatrical Harlequin. Picasso’s Harlequins are off-stage and the artist’s depictions are portraits of distinguished individuals. It is difficult to associate these Picasso Harlequins with British Harlequinades.
