Painting as a Game and as Field of Battle

Night advances over the city, as the drawing—board is slowly covered with green spaces, closely—observed landscapes in vivid colours, but there is no sign of human activity. One person only is alive and present, but is out of the picture — it is the artist, producing strong, lively images for the theatre of ghosts where we, late—coming spectators to the secret process of creation, will come face to face with the terrible beauty of the Void.
