Venice in the fall before the rains .

Lido Beach with The Grand Hotel de Bains .

" As it is , in three days I won't see the boy anymore , will forget his face . But not the experience of my heart . He will join that gallery about which no literary history will speak ."
Thomas Mann - Diary , July 11th , 1950

The Grand Hotel de Bains in Lido , where ; Death In Venice ; was written and later filmed .
Here it is in the off season , with the cabanas and fences , along the Lido beach , wrapped up before the rains and winter come .

Ancient windows with iron work grills that are found all around the canals of Venice .

I had a painting in a group show , centered around Jackie Curtis , at The Proposition Gallery . The opening , brought out a lot of familiar faces . Here's Michael Musto and Sylvia Miles standing in front of a "Time Machine " ( a very clever art form of cars and vans as art .) This mobile in parked in the POP parking era .
