In the studio of Jan Saudek.

In bed with Madonna

Invited by Jan Saudek in Prague, I woke up every mornings in front of this image.
He had lent us (with Alain, my very good friend) his apartment and thus I slept in Jan's bed.
I woke up and I had in front of me, this icon.
My preferred of all the photos of Jan Saudek.
Marie's portrait.



This is one of the reason why I still believe in Fairy tales.

EVITA

"Tomorrow, Evita will show you Prague, she will serve you as guide, you do not see any inconvenient there, I hope? "
That is what Jan Saudek told to my friend Alain Delage and me when we visit him, the first time.
Evita was one of his beautiful model, with a good sense of humour.

Could we hope of more attractive guide? I'm not sure.
Thank you so much Jeannot and Alain !

1er Novembre

"Le soir j'étais triste car j'avais mangé des anchois.
Le matin le médecin me réconforta; Pourquoi être triste ?
Après tout, j'ai mangé les anchois, les anchois ne m'ont pas mangé. "
Franz Kafka

Just another Victory

Dear Friends

Just another victory, that's the title of Jan Saudek photograph that i've received long time ago. (In 1897, he wrote)
Today, i needed to see this image (a vintage print of course...) and needed to show you this. I will tell you a story about him and a very close friend (Alain), but not now. In few weeks.
Time is not flexible. (see Ivan Terestchenko's drawing)
I have to reply to Beth
...........prepare the Silmo Fair (I'm drawing glasses 8 hours per day)
......Look at Picasso and Fra Angelico paintings......Write to Jan because i didn't since 2004........ Improve my English.......do new images.......paint (maybe)........and find the meaning of Just another Victory...
