"Full lasting is the song, though he, the singer, passes." (George Meredith)

"Esoterica: It's important for living artists to be constantly weeding.
Destroying substandard work is not only good for the heirs, it's good for the
artist: nothing worse than mediocrity in sight. Burning, while illegal in some
jurisdictions, is best. I do it quietly on cold, sentimental nights as a
ceremony of sacrifice in the fireplace. Further, a quick note in the will,
"Destroy all unsigned art," saves everybody a lot of trouble and anguish.
Remember, it's always nicer to enjoy a few brilliant friends than to endure a
crowd of dullards." Robert Glenn

A question was posed to Robert about Grandfathers art work after he passed.
As I age I ponder this question my self,famous or not, one should have written instructions for their art work as to how it will be handled upon death.After all the time,education,money love and tears, I wish not to be on the curb in a garage sale.

Esoterica comment validates my ceremonial evenings.
