Dear John Fitzgerald: Please publish it. Your seed will fall on some fertile ground.. I do not agree to Picasso´s statement. Having spent a night somewhere in Switzerland in a room with one of the most expensive Picasso paintings I think that this might be true for many works of Picasso but not for the work of Ernst Jünger and some of his aficionados.
