The attack began Thursday AM local time. Tomahawk cruise missiles carrying conventional warheads were launched from U.S. Navy battleships.

Salt line. V-Speed. The two are similar. Fish can’t cross the salt line and survive. A pilot can’t abort takeoff after reaching V-Speed. V-Speed can be calculated. The salt line can be estimated. But not by fish.

Then two remained with not much to say, with not much to say at all. They sat together, day after day, sometimes side by side and sometimes across from one another, day after day, with nothing much to say, nothing much to say at all. Still they spoke, spoke to one another, spoke day after day. It passed the time. Confirmed each to the other that the other was alive, each to the other. They sat together, and spoke, and heard. They sat and spoke and heard. They sat and spoke and heard and so are content.

If you associate Seurat with pointillism, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte and not much more, then you probably need to visit the exhibition of his drawings currently on show at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. While the show focuses a lot of attention on the relationship of his drawings to his paintings, what struck me was how brilliant he was working in black and white. His portraits and studies of the human form are mesmerizing in the way he draws the form out through shading with his comté crayon. Aside from the obvious contribution to painting, the drawings are better compared to a kind of impressionistic black and white photography.

Georges Seurat – The Drawings runs through January 7, 2008
