“What music do you listen to?” uh I don’t listen to music, I listen to women. Because I’m an ally.
“In the distance, she beckons me with her blue silence. (She is my Wertherian Charlotte. My Lotte. Lottchen) Her mask perversely insures that she cannot speak. She is as wordless as [the rhinoceros]. She is even more mute than [the rhinoceros]. While the other masked figures in the front row are wearing the bauta, this blue woman wears the domino: an oval black mask kept in place by a button held between the teeth, an arrangement which rendered its wearer temporarily speechless. Her face becomes a single surreal eye and a huge open mouth, like a Francis Bacon silent scream”
(Carol Mavor on Pietro Longhi’s Exhibition of a Rhinoceros at Venice (1751), Blue Mythologies)
