How did I find this tadpole of info? Remember that Surrealism Essay I was reading on the bus? (more on this later). Before Brecht was an artist, he was a full-time chemist for J&J. Brecht even included it in his mail-art exhibition, l'art du Tampon. (incidentally, the show was made up of mostly men. should be renamed male-art exhibition)
