PROVENANCE:
Acquired from the artist by the present owner

The marriage of poetic and pictorial became the outcome in the later painted works. After all, the words we use in our own written language are all originally evolved from pictographs- changed and refined over many hundreds of years. ..Words from a foreign script are often used – particularly from a language which is unknown to me…which seems to me to have a particularly evocative FEEL and musicality… A Creative experience can have infinite possibilities, which makes a work of ART a kind of everlasting GENERATOR of emotions.
