'' Dear Judy -
You say : please write if you are able . But the thing is I have to reply ! ..............................
.....................................................................................................................................................
The links with Spinoza and Bomberg are deep and light ............................................................. I guess you are too young to have known him as I did. Unlike Spinoza he was possessed.
I love Stolen Air and the 3 butterflies. I would love to see one of your paintings . To hear it ( her? him? ) breathing. I love their precision - like the precision birds have when flying.
Do you know the poetry of Yannis Ritsos ..........along with Elytiss and Cavafy ? Ritsos wrote : '' Poems are great rivers -
they never stop flowing before they meet the sea ......''
This is true of your paintings
With love John ............''
