Seems Court Painter became enamoured with the latest stock market and Great Dominion election race tracking and ventured to render two works based only on the data tracker lines. Can you believe it!?
Court Painter egged on by his Press Attache AHM …suggests by extracting selected data from the original context of the lines, he was making an art statement by merely

Popularly known for the phrase ‘taking a line for a walk’, artist and Bauhaus teacher Paul Klee describes the first category of line within his Pedagogical Sketchbook of 1925 as:
An active line on a walk, moving freely, without goal. A walk for a walk’s sake. The mobility agent is a point, shifting its position forward.
