Edmund Kalb 1900 – 1952 –A Thousand Self-Portraits

“The same intensity and love that I experience in drawing my heads I also felt for the thoughts I had written down. I only regret that there is no means to transcribe and record an emotional experience in itself as it is experienced in statu nascendi. People would then have a greater understanding and greater will to understand one another.”
