Scope and Contents

This 43rd new series collage page of the Dante Diary is titled "Dante in Miami Beach Again." On this page, Phillips visits with Ruth and Marvin Sackner in Miami.The center contains a black and white announcement picture of Ruth and Marvin standing in front of Phillips' "Artchive" painting.To the left is a color version of the painting from the Bass Museum exhibition invitation. Phillips writes,"The big Artchive painting looks very good though it needs a coat of varnish now. Excellently laid out show done by Michael Peobble whom I had a couple of meals with (and his wife). Very pleasant dinner after the show at Ruth's elegant women's club." At the top center of the page is a table seating card for Tom Phillips for a party he describes as follows, "Another Dantesque event: a party given by the Johnsons Baby Powder heiress on an island at a golf club stiff with diamonds with M & R & few other jews or welshmen. Terrible food and the hostess finally not present. I sat among appalling people & enjoyed it." The bottom right corner contains a drawing of a female head and torso that Phillips writes is "EVE drawn at the Bass Museum." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
