Scope and Contents

Eighteen expressionistic self-portrait drawings done with black-gray watercolors are affixed one to each page. They measure approximately 12.5 cm x 7.5 cm. In addition, two drawings are done as full pages in black, blue, and yellow paint over a found (?) Russian calligraphic text. The pages in white painted, handwriting appears to be a sound poem dealing with the sentence in German, "I am a dummy" and extensions of this sentence. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
