Re: [Leica] Good news Bad news

This is too close to the truth.

Several years ago while in San Francisco, I went to see the Jackson Pollack
exhibit at the downtown museum .
Pollack (deceased) led a very tortured life being afflicted with some form
of dementia.

Among the many paintings there were 12 prints depicting the most grotesque
scenes, no doubt reflecting the agony in the artist's life. These were
scribbled by Pollack on request of his analyst as part of the therapy.

The 12 prints were on loan to the museum by the psychiatrist.
