Autumn Rhythm
MOMA was strangly quiet today. Maybe it was the
heavy rain outside or the early hour but compared to his two previous visits it seemed almost deserted.
Nick Mahan, was doing his best to saturate himself in the New York art scene. Museums, Galleries, Openings...the last week had gone by in a whirl of Picassos, Matisses, Johns, Warhols, Rauschenbergs and Rothkos.
Classes started in two weeks at SVA and he didn't want to appear the twenty year old yokel from Mid America that the City made him feel every time he walked out of the door of the tiny East Village studio he shared with a distant cousin that he didn't get along with.
But beggers can't be choosers.
A tall very sophisticated looking woman was sitting on the only bench in the gallery, or he would have sat down himself. The hard marble floors could wear you down quick.
He followed her gaze to a painting. It was a big Pollack called Autumn Rhythym. He'd noticed it the other day. He could not really say he liked Pollack, but being an art student he felt that he should at least see SOMETHING in it worth while.
He looked back to see the woman again and was surprised to find her looking right at him! She had very blue eyes and she was very pretty.
He smiled quickly and turned to hide his embaressment.
A very clear and feminine voice said behind him,
"You know I always think I should be able to see SOMETHING in Pollack's work that I just can't seem to find...What about you?"
Oh my GOD...she's talking to me!
OOC...Nicholas Mahan is a young man of twenty, barely twenty. He was accepted at the School of Visual Art much to his own surprise. It was a bold step to leave the security of life in the small mid western city where he'd lived all his life to go into the frightening world of New York.
He wanted desperately to be an artist and the acceptance was too good an opportunity to pass up. Finding a cousin of his mothers willing to let him stay at her place temporarily was another stroke of luck and he was on his way...
Nick is a good looking young man just under six feet with a shock of unruly black hair, hazel eyes and a slender physique.
