“Stacked all around the walls were originals and prints by the three young artists who shared the loft, but there was none of the other familiar painters’ clutter. Instead there were drawing boards and airbrushes, plan chests and a boy in very clean OshKosh dungarees frowning at a computer terminal. The neat beige space looked more like the art department of a glossy magazine than anything else, Julia thought.‘I like this stuff,’ Julia said. ‘I’m tired of flowers and beads.’The boy looked up. ‘Y...eah. All that faded shit.’She prowled back along the line of pictures. The ones that interested her particularly were gleaming, airbrush paintings of jukeboxes, cars with grilles like sharks’ teeth, girls with overpointed breasts and tight dresses that emphasised the vee between their thighs. They were all more real than the real thing, sharp and shiny and cynical. There was nothing gentle or optimistic or pretty about them, and they made psychedelia seem as dated as the pennyfarthing.MoreLessRead More Read Less
