Christopher C. GorhamGUEST
Yes.
Christopher C. GorhamGUEST
Perhaps the most central set of letters was at the Morgan Library in New York, which is the letters between Matisse and his son, Pierre.
Christopher C. GorhamGUEST
Pierre moved to the United States when he was 25, 26 years old and lived essentially the rest of his life and career in New York.
Christopher C. GorhamGUEST
and they were consistent correspondents.
Chelsea GuagliardoHOST
So I would be careful though when you're buying this.
Chelsea GuagliardoHOST
I got this one from the Morgan Library, which is a library and museum in New York City.
Chelsea GuagliardoHOST
They actually hold five of the original tarot cards from the original Visconti Sforza deck.
Chelsea GuagliardoHOST
And I got it from their museum gift shop website.
Chelsea GuagliardoHOST
Kind of have to relearn the meanings behind this because they have, it's kind of similar to tarot.
Chelsea GuagliardoHOST
Like if you're a proficient in tarot, you'll understand, but it's also really not.
Chelsea GuagliardoHOST
and each card is just a piece of art and this is the type of tarot and art i just want to use in my readings i don't know i just feel i don't know if it's because i am italian that i just feel more connected to it i'm not gonna lie i've been doing readings on myself almost every day which i haven't done in a while just to get very proficient in reading this so i could start using this in my client readings so that people can show up and be like why is she using a tarot deck the size of her head and i'm gonna say the tarot deck is so big because it's full of secrets Now, the reason why I brought up the Morgan Library and the Visconti Sforza Tarot is because they're having a huge exhibition right now where the full deck is actually in New York City at the Morgan Library.
Chelsea GuagliardoHOST
Like I said before, the Morgan Library only has five of the 25 cards or something like that.

Booberry MothmanHOST
Yes.
Justin RiversHOST
And what we were told was that they were running boats, circle line boats, anything that they could run across the river to bring commuters home to New Jersey.
Justin RiversHOST
I had a very good friend who was working at the Morgan Library at the time.
Justin RiversHOST
And I said, I have to go get her.
Justin RiversHOST
So I walked up Second Avenue.
Claire Downes WhitehurstGUEST

Alka PandeGUEST
Here are the two miniatures side by side.
Stormy WatersGUEST
The only reason you don't have a base fascist government in America is because of that terrible, terrible human being and him betraying the men that put their faith in him.
Stormy WatersGUEST
So like, for instance, I'll read you a quote from the Morgan Library.
Stormy WatersGUEST
It's very interesting.
Stormy WatersGUEST
This will give you an idea of what could have been, and then I'll get into who these men were.

It's right there, right by the old Pan Am building, the MetLife building.
McGraw MilhavenHOST
And I think it was right off Park Avenue.
McGraw MilhavenHOST
And for whatever reason, I was waiting for a plane and had a couple hours, and I stumbled into the Morgan Library, the J.P. Morgan Library.
McGraw MilhavenHOST
And I'm minding my own business, and I'm looking at different things, and I come across this glass case, and in it, is letters that J.D. Salinger wrote while he was in the Army.
McGraw MilhavenHOST
And one of the letters that J.D. Salinger wrote to his friend, and it said...
Steve MetzgerGUEST

Steve MetzgerGUEST
I mean, there's people that I knew of and had studied, like begins with St. Anselm, and then it ends with the librarian for the Morgan Library, who sort of created the Morgan Library, Costa Green.
Steve MetzgerGUEST
But the funniest one vignette he talks about is the great scholar Theodore Momsen, who was one of these great philologists, German scholars, epigraphist.
