| THE KING WHO PLAYED VIOLIN |
||
| When Picasso discovered the painter Rousseau he not only made him famous he also held a dinner in his honour. The ‘Douanier’ was put on a throne, crowned and placed at the head table. During the dinner he was asked to play his violin, Rousseau enthusiastically obliged, completely oblivious to his own appalling violin playing. |

Original captions were transcribed from listening to poetry workshops
given by Sophie Hannah these inspired the first set of 98 drawings.
Which were sent to Adam Thorpe who re-captioned them (by making random pin
pricks into the 'Book of Disquietude' by Ferdinand Pessoa).
The next
series of drawings were then titled by William Radice (who made pin pricks
into his own writing) and the most recent set are randomly
selected quotes from ‘The olive, green, yellow, grey, brown, orange, red,
crimson, pink, lilac, violet, blue and Celtic Fairy books
