Hi Michael, she wasn't a muse, but in a way everyone was, he painted the
lower east side, younger artists like Adrian Piper, poets like Allen
Ginsberg -

This is very beautiful Alan. One of the things I value about your work is
that with all its diversity and sometimes, complexity there is room for
human feeling, often very movingly expressed.
The painting is extraordinary ( partly because it fels so odd, as no doubt
it does to you, to see you portrayed there, in that other country) - I
didn't know Soyer's work before. It seens to belong to that body of American
representational painting which was nonetheless largely at ease with
everything else that was happening in art. Fairfield Porter in particular
and possibly Alex Katz spring to mind. I found about 5 other paintings of
Rosemary Mayer by Soyer on Google within minutes -was she a kind of muse
figure to him?
Lastly your piece led me to 0-9 and I have ordered a copy of the anthology,
which looks fantastic.
How sad that, as so often, someone's death opens up all sorts of new
perspectives on the world!
warmest wishes
michael
