And you say something really w- just sort of intriguing.

And you write, "It's a painting that I first thought about and discussed in 1997, yet whose profundity and force I have only just begun to grasp." Uh, I'm so intrigued by the idea about thinking about and engaging with a painting for nearly 30 years, um, and feeling that you've only just begun to kind of reckon with it, to understand what the painting is conveying to you.

Um, what do you see now in that painting that you couldn't see then?

I mean, his works are so funny.
