I am a painter-to be precise, a painting draughtsman. I have been a draughtsman from the outset and I draw daily-always-without interruption and thus when I write too. Then I also draw at night. At night I draw lovingly and I draw as I "make love," my sex is roused by my eyes only. AND I draw as I dream. In my dreams I draw copies of 200-year-old drawings by old masters. Drawing in itself is my dream. I draw "pictures"--they need only to be a line. My love (Bobeth) calls me with her sweet, hoarse voice "my painter." That's what I am, nothing else. I have been drawing from my earliest days-undisturbed-and IF anything disturbed me as I drew-then it was the draughtsman ME. Others, the "interpreters," then also saw me drawing. They appealed to my vanity-even though they misinterpreted me from the outset, totally, entirely and fundamentally, and continue to do so with increasing verbiage. As I not only draw ALWAYS and EVERYTHING, as my drawing in its own way is COMPLICATED IN EVERYTHING, any interpreter can proceed by a process of intellectual selection, "disregarding" what appears TO HIM to be inappropriate and cutting me to HIS OWN (relative) cloth and preference. What I mean is: people misjudge me-they underrate me in any case-just as they overrate me-and to a degree that could never upset me in my drawing. So all that continues to disturb me as I draw is still just the draughtsman ME. ? (S. 22)
