Reader
As we are convinced that it is not too LATE, we will speak.
Time is running, honestly.. ..it has become necessary now to do something, before it is too late
There must be witnessing and speaking..
..Art is everywhere. She is thrown us people on our jackets by the birds. In every infant with weak intestines, the latent seed is laid for an artist..
Our first publication will soon be published. We urgently invite you to become a fellow reader [of the upcoming art-magazine 'The Next Call'].. .. We count on your DEEDS in the white season with the black shadows..
version in original Dutch (origineel citaat van Hendrik Werkman, in het Nederlands): ..niet het bekende paradijs, maar het onbekende, ergens in een werelddeel dat nog door geen mensch uit de cultuurstaten is ontdekt – daarheen ben ik gevlucht [in zijn prenten!] omdat het in onze wereld haast niet meer uit te houden is.
