...A. I. Solzhenitsyn,
from his Nobel Lecture.
A work of art contains its verification in itself: artificial, strained concepts do not withstand the test of being turned into images; they fall to pieces, turn sickly and pale, convince no one. Works which draw on truth and present it to us in live and concentrated form grip us, compellingly involve us, and no one ever, not even ages hence, will come forth to refute them.
(Pt. 2, para. 4. Translated by F. D. Reeve. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York, 1972)

Illustration for 'Crime and Punishment' by Philip Reisman
Pg. 234, Illustrated Modern Library Ed. 1944/'45. Rodya seats Sonia the prostitute beside his mother and sister: 'Please sit down...Allow me--not there. Sit here.'
Brian invited this viewer to make meaning... of the face he drew on this card. Hopefully this does not constitute mail fraud.

'This will be the last, Papa!' 1927 This lithograph by Rouault strikes me as rather profound.

Upright Bass {first state}, 2/13. Stefan Wolf
Woodblock print. Inspired by Sunday morning jazz at the Downtown Coffee House in Talent, OR. I remember it being a beautiful Spring morning. After coffee I went out and did some watercolor painting at a pear orchard up the back roads. All this happened before I discovered Wordsworth.

'Better to be Abel than Cain' Illustration by Marcus Stone
'Bradley toiled on, chained heavily to the idea of his hatred and his vengeance, and thinking how he might have satiated both in many better ways than the way he had taken. The instrument might have been better, the spot and the hour might have been better chosen.' -Charles Dickens, 'Our Mutual Friend' (Book the Fourth, Ch.VII)
Illustration for 'Wuthering Heights'
Woodblock print by Fritz Eichenberg. I came across this artist's work in a bookshop in Anchorage, Alaska. His work has influenced my interest in printmaking, and is also an original sourse for my interest in Russian liturature.

'Tete de clown' 1907

Doodle in Art 112 Reader
Talk about image aquirement and reproduction! Here we have a scan of copy (which I modified) of a text book reproduction (Fig.4.1, Pg.144) of a photograph of Alice Liddel ('Alice in Wonderland') taken by Julia Margaret Cameron, and titled 'Pomona' (1872). I'm sure my good friend Paul M. will appreciate the Duchampian touch. The caption reads 'Here in my hand, I hold your brain'.
