is it possible that he uses the nude descending a staircase to contrast his own work?

the nude descends the stairway once again basement living always mends i'll come to you then shell shocked pale gray a box of TDK's and me and my 424

that particular painting challenged the limits of the era driving people to look forward. i think vanderslice is encouraging people to look back. coming to them after they have suffered the shell shock of being modernized with his retro active recording techniques. reminding them that everything that comes the past isn't a terrible thing.

A copy of the painting hung in the stairwell of his basement.
