Erik Satie, Paris 1922 -by Man Ray
On their first encounter, Man Ray described Erik Satie as “a strange, voluble little man in his fifties […] who looked like an undertaker or an employee of some conservative bank”. But he also said of him that he was “le seul musicien qui avait des yeux”

Constantin Brancusi playing golf, Fontainebleau, 25 Sept. 1923 -nd [+]
Brancusi was initiated to golf by John Quinn, an american lawyer, a fan and buyer of Brancusi’s works and Brancusi became a fan of golf. That day, he played with John Quinn, Jeanne Robert Foster and Henri-Pierre Roché.
Erik Satie was present to watch and make comments… As Brancusi stroke the ball too hard, Satie said: «Golf was invented by the British and Anglo-Saxons. It is not a game for Romanians.»
However, he won the game. And Quinn offered him a set that Brancusi kept all his life. (ref.: Pontus Hulten, “Brancusi”)
