a series of relations stemming from a dream

Ok, a dream of a bridge in NY city that I have never seen or been on.
A Georgia O'Keeffe show that had a painting of the very same bridge leading to Arthur Wesley Dow
a show of Stieglitz's photos, His gallery 291 to John Marin
biography and a mention leads to Marsden Hartley
Marsden Hartley's letters to Stieglitz lead to the Blue Riders,
Kandinsky, Marc, and etc.
of course Paul Strand
over then to DH Lawrence and Mabel Dodge Luhan
her friend Gertrude Stein circles back to Hartley,
A stay at Mabel's in Taos then to the Lawrence ranch to Willa Cather
Sideways backtrack a bit to Robert Henri leading to Edward Hopper
the Ashcan School
including the Arts Students League of NY which is hard to not find a notable connection to...
lately from there, Wolf Kahn
and finally onwards to:
Edwin Dickinson
