philip c. curtis "gift bearers" 1971
a space disrupted
by restaurant
bustle
and neon signs of
exit
though the perfect sliver
of bright noon
sun
slices the western wall
just so
philip c. curtis "entrance with light bulb" 1964
gilded frames can dance
and shimmer
abundant space
what i see the most
where the material is dwarf
amongst the blank
colors and lines still bold
but soft dashes of peach
clouds
in scenes where sky peeks through
philip c. curtis "escape" 1956
sparse speckling of chairs
tables
where depth perception is
experimental
the vanishing point
disintegrates what
notions
i may have had
