You can either buy clothes or buy pictures 27. November 2013 “You can either buy clothes or buy pictures” – A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
It has been Gertrude Stein saying this to Hemingway. I don’t think Gertrude Stein was known for her fashionability …. ;.) Photo was taken at the Paris Photo 2013, btw. Reply
Yes, it’s an either-or. I’d guess the problem is not clothing in a functional sense but the superimposed assumed values (for nothing) Reply
“I saw my wife trying not to look at the strange, steerage clothes that Miss Stein wore and she was successful.” Me I would rather buy a Picasso than a Gucci Bag. Not that I really have these choices, ;-) Reply

Very Henri C-B. If we answered that question we’d be half naked:-)
