Asger Jorn, Letter to my Son, 1956-57
From the Tate Collection:
Letter to my Son is one of Jorn’s most ambitious paintings of the late 1950s, the period in which his international reputation was established. The title refers to his son, Ole, who was born in 1950. It is one of a number of works by Jorn that refer to families and childhood. The layered composition includes at least a dozen frenetic figures, loosely delineated with great energy. They have a spontaneous urgency that recalls the children’s drawings that Jorn admired during his CoBrA period.
“A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts, so he loses touch with reality and lives in a world of illusions.” — Alan Watts
I’m working on a series of 50 new epigram collages, have finished 40 of them. After writing the epigram in this collage I began trying to assess the number of my illusions. For example, I think that I’m an artist and a philosopher, there’s two right off. And except for when I’m vegging out in front of the TV or drink too much, I am thinking all the time, and therefore a denizen of Alan Watts’ world of illusions. But perhaps this realization is a trapdoor back into reality. — Michael Lipsey
