◇ After
The Starry Night · Vincent van Gogh, 1889
A Vader helmet given over to the swirling blue sky, the stars haloed yellow and orange and ringed as they are in the painting. Across the chin guard, a signature in orange script: the first name only.
“After” is the old gallery word for a work made in open conversation with another. It is a lineage, not a shortcut.
