THE PROPHET IS CRYING

[thermoplastic]

“The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act.”
Marcel Duchamp

The collector visited my studio and went through a stack of my drawings, picking this and two more. This piece was framed since it was exhibited before several times, but he wanted them unframed, so I took it out of the frame. It is nice to find a collector that specifically like this kind of work.

Another drawing sold together with this I posted before: DARK SURPRISE

“For the first time after so many years I come back to cry aloud in the desert. Because this is the mission of the intellectual who is truly a prophet—to cry in the desert. The greatest of the prophets, Isaiah, made it notable, of course, when he spoke of himself as the voice of one "crying in the wilderness." Because the mission of the intellectual is to be the man who, from his desert, his basic solitude—and man is only man amid his truth, only himself when he is alone—cries aloud to others and invites them to each into his own solitude.”
José Ortega y Gasset, An Interpretation of Universal History

Die Zeichung ist genial!
Leider kann ich die bei mir nicht aufhängen, da mich vermutlich meine Familie dann psychiatrieren würde 😃!

Perfekt! Ja, das ist das Problem mit vielen von meinen Werken. Selbst habe ich es geschafft, trotz mehrfachen Anschuldigungen, nicht eingewiesen zu werden. Was mir so in den Jahrzehnten meines Schaffens vorgeworfen wurde ..... aber interessanterweise waren es in Kanada meist sehr religiöse Leute die meine Bilder kauften!
Der Serbische Sammler hat eine der größten Sammlungen die ich jemals gesehen habe, und ist spezialisiert auf diese Kunstrichtung. Er hat mir den Katalog seiner Sammlung gegeben, und der ist so dick wie ein New York Branchen Telefonbuch.

Thank you - I am honored!

No problem. It is a stunning piece of art, and the person who bought it is very fortunate.
