A writing that is drawn; a drawing that is written.
After a swim, on the beach at Golfe-Juan, we are talking about Chinese characters. A Chinese friend is drawing Chinese characters in the sand. Picasso has amused himself before by drawing his own ideograms in the sand: bulls, goats, faces of peace. He is fascinated by the interplay of Chinese characters, the strengths and economy of their construction.
"If I were born Chinese" says Picasso, "I would not be a painter but a writer. I'd write my pictures".
I'm really liking what you're up to. And I'm amazed at how much you're able to produce. The hardest thing in art is to figure out what to make. I think you have that covered.
