Happy birthday to Elliott Carter, who would have turned 116 today!
Here he is pictured in one of the most adorable photos ever taken, the cover for Music of Elliott Carter, Volume Eight, looking every bit like Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Thought:
“Eventually, we may come to visualize an intellectual space in which the systems of words and images will both, as Jonas Mekas once said of semiology, ‘seem like half of something,’ a universe in which image and word, each resolving the contradictions inherent in the other, will constitute the system of consciousness.”
