About this artwork

Golden Hours

4×3 in

Ink on Paper

Unsigned Final Study

Written by Ogden Nash and Illustrated by Maurice Sendak

Excerpt:

The thing about which I know the least
Is the inscrutable East.
Neither is my ignorance immutable,
I find that every hour the East grows more inscrutable.
Day by day
I memorize pithy witticisms beginning “Confucius say.”
I retire to leafy bowers
And immerse myself in Kai Lung’s Golden Hours,
In the evening I beat assiduously on a gong,
Picking out “Slow Boat to China” and “Why Did I Tell You I Was Going to Shanghai?” and “Chong He Come from Hong Kong.
