Such a great portrait. As if Fishman just met Robert Duvall on the street around the corner. (Who knows, it might well be so.)

Always love a play promo photo that has the subjectivity of an audience member's eye and especially depth of field:

Spiegelman has always had a lot of insight into his own art, and it really comes through in the Maus, from the 'Prisoner on Hell Planet' sequence to the self-reflexive opening of Part II. I know it's one of the most acclaimed books of all time but it still amazes me how deep it is
Happy birthday Art Spiegelman 🎂

"The subject of Maus is the retrieval of memory & ultimately, the creation of memory. It’s about choices being made, of finding what one can tell, and what one can reveal beyond what one knows one is revealing."
