IT IS VERY SAD THAT I WAS "THROWN OUT" THEN "LOCATED" AND PLACED IN "POSITION" OF THE WAR AND PEACE NOVEL MYTHOLOGY RATHER THAN MY OWN ART MYTH.

ART "PORTRAITS" OF THE FIRST HALF DECADE OF THE SEVENTIES, MEANING MY ART WORKS AS PORTRAITS, WERE INDUCED AND IMPOSED UPON ME BY ELECTRONICALLY DEVISED SOUNDS, VERY HARD TO ENDURE, CONTINUALLY REPEATED. While I was making the multiples and life-size drawings as well as  small-size studies for Berlin's Tegel Airport project electronically devised sounds as "dropped" were names of American artists and of artists of other nationalities that I used to know. THIS ALSO AT THE 712 MADISON AVENUE NEW YORK -

Why was I manipulated or induced, or was it my self-reflection to "create" such portraits of, let's put it this way, 07 "wives", "husbands", and "husbands", and also "friendly colleagues". Was it a process of equalization of art values? OR INVESTEMENT? 

I had made several art works of mine which I considered to be art portraits in previous years on my own choice of whom to portray, OF MY "LIFE'S BEST FRIEND"

In the past also if I can express my opinion, freely, "combined, let's say, IF educational SUCH tapes" had interfered with [[strikethrough]] such the makings of [[/strikethrough]] portraits, perhaps to result to a "combined" portrait, this I am referring to major sculptures of mine.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF THOSE ARE THE WAYS OR LET'S SAY "INSTRUCTING METHODS" THAT THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENTS OF CREATIVE ACTIVITY ADOPT.
