City of the Arts

Working woman. Storyville, New Orleans.

"Working woman. Storyville, New Orleans," says the caption, circa 1900,
wall accordingly adorned with an unframed print of the running figures
so much beloved and belabored by then-reigning Neo-Classicists and later
inherited more or less verbatim by the neo-Neo-Classicist Picasso.

Two Women Running

"Working woman. Storyville, New Orleans," circa 1900, at about the same
moment that Jelly Roll Morton was inventing jazz in a Storyville bawdy-house,
and instead of Storyville, you might just as well call it "City of the Arts."
