What a wonderful day we had together wit...Hi Harvey<br />What a wonderful day we had together with Dennis Stock. His arrival in Auckland was hilarious. He was truly dazed by the long flight and was in such a rush to get to his hotel - The Regent. When his keys wouldn't open his bags he took a steel tool to them and crunched open the largest case. The contents immediately indicated that he was looking at women's clothing. Back to the airport for his own cases. Grr Grr!<br /><br />Next day at the opening, which was a really provincial formal art event - far too black tie for Dennis' taste. He wore a corduary street coat, which immediately made him the evening's star!<br /> <br />He was a brilliant artist and really knew how to get close to people. His stories about James Dean will remain with me forever.<br />Best<br />Ron Brownson<br />Auckland Art Gallery Toi o TamakiRon Brownsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457248322827532348noreply@blogger.com
