Michael H’s Version of ‘La Grande Jatte’(Chicago)
Michael said to me: “The best of America is a McDonald-Burger…”
And: “Nobody can say of oneself to be an Artist. Other people can say it.”
A ‘whimsical’ Artist I read of him?
One of the most SERIOUS I ever met in my life.
He liked to work on comission; mostly portraits when I met him in Chicago
where he took refuge for a while after he got mugged in New York.
He took me to T. Kovatchevitch, a artist-phisician, who gave us a Performance,
letting dance his ‘paper-characters’ over a waterfilled container.
He took me also to a couple, where I saw a work of Dieter Roth,
a built-in-installation in the kitchen(?) of the couple’s flat.
Chicago is an architectural Museum.
Michael drove me in his huge ‘coach’ to F.L. Wright’s ‘Robie-Residence’ I liked to see.
(I met him later again in New York.
He was working in a loft of a female artist-friend.
There I made my photos)
