for a head-and-shoulders statue as well as an idiom for damage. One's a noun, the
other's a verb. The scratch is just that, in this case a scratch in the celluloid. It just happened to be
there at the moment the classical bust is being depicted. It's literally there for a split second. If you
blink, you'd miss it. Olexander captured this from a Swedish source "Miss Julie". There's a playfulness
in this lugubrious scene. A play between surface (fragile film emulsion) and pictorial depth (the classical bust). 27 3/4" l., 20 3/4" h. framed. 2010 SOLD
