"Man I Wear Black"
Written by André Larnyoh
There are a lot of associations for people who wear black. I could do a whole essay on it, but personally, I associate it with people in the performing arts. For many actors and dancers who find themselves training in an attempt to hopefully someday tread a board, black clothing is de rigueur. It’s seen as the great equaliser - that absence of colour allows others to see past clothing and focus on the individual and skill.
Glenn Gould

“My clothes do seem to command an inordinate amount of attention. But then I’ve always been repulsively sure of myself.” - Glenn Gould, Weekend Magazine 1956
From the heavy military overcoat latched up throat high to the fingerless gloves, you’d be hard pressed to guess that the subject of the photograph is relaxing on holiday in the Bahamas. But then, one gets the impression that piano wunderkind Glenn Gould was not really the relaxing type.
