QUOTABLE LETTER

“I am deeply chagrined by the misattribution of the quote that graces the front page of (Dec. 22’s) Calendar. Singer Tom Waits is credited with saying, ‘All art aspires to the condition of music.’ This is a brilliant sentiment . . . but it was uttered over 70 years ago by the great avant-garde Russian painter Vasily Kandinsky.”
