DEDICATING A PENCIL SKETCH "For Victor Authorius" -- "When, some time ago, I made you a present of this simple and entirely worthless small pencil sketch the feeling "never left me that I should write a few humble words of apology on the back of it, because the picture itself is of so little value and artistry... "... Finally I gave it to you, for you loved it... That is my reward, a content sentiment beyond further quest." df/dedicating_a_pencil_sketch_8-25-1933.jpg | |
The great detective mystery" PC 10-30-33 "It was the most beautiful morning in early June. Peace beauty and unspeakably serene light reigned everywhere, the whole world was one happy bright smile. At 1/2 past 10 AM there was nothing to disturb this meteorologic and international friendliness. At 1/4 to 11 nothing in particular indicated that history was preparing a fantastic blow. Even 5 minutes to 11 people continued to hustle joyfully along stopping here and there for laughter..." (The beginning of a Penny Cent novel about the coming Socialistic Utopia? We can only speculate.) df/workers_club_10-30-33.jpg | The drawing beneath the text "Mr. Cornelius Abrahams Flombutton's Palace converted into a Worker's Club after the Revolution" |
No obvious explanation for these sketches,
but apparently done in conjunction with the above "Great Detective
Mystery" sketch. Perhaps the preliminary design for "public housing"
for the fictitious future utopia. df/commune_dwelling.jpg | |
