ROBERT LAWSON

I fished out a Robert Lawson etching that a mentor of mine had goven me in the 1990's around when he encouraged me to read The Satyricon. He also gave me some beautifully bound volumes of the wildly exaggerated autobiography of Benvenutto Cellini with illustrations by Dali.
I have been thinking about the Lawson etching and this time. The sad satyrs and other magical creatures departing in woe, defeated in the dark amongst the refuse as the bright deco of a metropolis shines in glory. It is very hard to illustrate light coming from the center or inner part of and image.

NAME THIS GRAFFITI ARTIST

Over ten yars ago or so these roughly 3 x 3" pieces were glud on a wall near a subay station in SOHO. it was raining, the glue is soft then. Maybe it was just put up as well. I peeled them off and law enforcement drove by and I said "I am remocog grafifiti, officer" and they agrred i guess and i did remove it.
I went straight to an art supply store got a roll of brown paper and rolled them in it. Years later I found it stored. who is this mouthless.. what the ____ is this?
