Diane
Arbus: Child with a Toy Hand Grenadein Central Park

Paris
1979. I see two unforgettable exhibitions. The Pablo Picasso retrospective
and the photography of Diane Arbus.
There is a remnant of garden behind the village. There are three ancient apple trees standing there. Despite their age they bear apples that are now almost never grown; maiden apples and keg apples. Not long ago there was still an old pear-tree. From time to time stormy winds blew down one of íts branches, They created the dramatic design of a crown with many empty spaces. As if it had been marked by the tirne throu;gh which we have lived. As a child I used to walk around this tree by the footpath. I have a living memory of walking here with my father. Every time that I corne to visit my mother I stop at this place. It is strange how only there can I perceive life in its full context and the miracle, that the chain of human life has reached as far as me. How did did they live, those people who were heee before me? What were their longings, hopes, and aims? I ask what message has been comununicated to me?
