"The object is the poetic"
George Braque.
"In Buenos Aires, there was a time in which the peinetas, by then peinetones, were the rage in the decade of 1830. A Spaniard, Mr. Masculine, made them in ever bigger sizes and with ever more extravagant designs. Caricatures of the period show porteño ladies with peinetones almost a meter long, extremely decorative and even symbolic ornaments."
Félix Luna.
