Boogie-woogie Quotes

Good evening, daddy
I know you've heard
The boogie-woogie rumble
Of a dream deferred. (Langston Hughes)

And all the girls walk by Dressed up for each other And the boys do the boogie-woogie On the corner of the street And the people passin' by Just stare in wild wonder And the inside juke-box Roars out just like thunder.

Van Morrison

For the first time a subject is present, not by virtue of its absence, but actually present, though its appearance is torn away, and only the structure bared. The Modern City!

Mondrian has left his white paradise, and entered the world.

Mark Rothko
