Wonderful ALS, one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, February 14, 1967. Letter to a photographer named Bishop, in part: "Got your letter and samples of photo experiments. You must not think because I used 'glum & sombre' that I was disparaging your work. It's simply that I can't stand the 'sad gorilla' aspect of myself which I often see in photos. Of the hundreds of photos people have taken of me there are only about a half-dozen I really like (when you come again I'll show you my favorite one). In general photography leaves me cold. I never used a camera in my life. Nor will I in the future. Now and then in magazines I find photos I like—could be in a good or cheap magazine. These experimental ones you just sent—I must confess they too leave me cold. Too slick for my taste. Too commercial. But I'm prejudiced—so don't take it hard. I hung out with advertising men, salesmen and artists both, when in my twenties—and became thoroly [sic] disgusted with everything which they found exciting." In fine condition, with intersecting folds (not affecting signature), and some slight soiling and toning to reverse.Format: ALS
