14. I go to see an exhibition of Lorca’s drawings in Madrid. I have seen them reproduced in glossy coffee table books, but the originals are drawn on paper of much worse quality, sometimes on the backs of napkins. Some of the originals are not in great physical condition. Their reproduction in art books, then, inevitably improves them, at least from one point of view—quite the opposite of the usual relation between original art work and secondary reproductions.
