The first play was focused on changes in the current art world and would employ paintings and sculpture by Kingsley himself. The other two parts would focus on modern dance and theater. The same year he copyrighted The Art Scene, Part One: Man with a Corpse on His Back.

Of interest in particular because of the many changes showing the work in progress. In Very Good Condition: title page is lightly…
