Bloody representationalism! Imposing limits on the reaction of the paint and the unconcious. Sweep away the old. Pure line and colour field, bypass literal perception.

If United were a painter, who would they be? Is that plural right?

A massive police presence, horses and helicopters marshall the confused Alty supporters. A sculpture park is set up on the right wing. &quotFast&quot Eddie fails to skin any of the statues.
