Roz Chast, at tonight's reception.
Tonight’s Westport Arts Center opening of “Divine Comedy” — featuring the works of Roz Chast, the New Yorker cartoonist who is to nebbishness what Michelangelo was to God, and R. Crumb, for whom whatever else he does in life will always be overshadowed by his “Cheap Thrills” album art for Janis Joplin — was a high-spirited affair.
The Arts Center offered up clever art, clever art patrons, and wine. It was a strong opening for an important show.
“06880” will refrain from making the obvious joke that such a reception was redundant, because what is Westport life if not one big cartoon?
