circa 1960
East Rutherford NJ
I
seem to remember that this series of pictures was shot in the New
Jersey Meadowlands around the time suggested, unless I dreamed it or am
fooling myself. One of the ladies depicted looks a bit like a
scarecrow, though her makeup suggests a cheery death’s head as well.
The second couple (or possibly the same models in different costume)
traipse through a field of goldenrod where the earlier pair are
surrounded by sunflowers. They seem to evoke Jack’s vision of an
earlier generation of city dwellers out for a jaunt in the countryside,
an early 20th century idyll. Death is always near and not just for the
butterflies.
