Posted at December 31, 1969, 6:00 pm: I would first like to thank you for the time taken out of your day to respond to my meager sketchbook. I would also like to congratulate you on the excellent illustration skills you are receiving while at Watts. While I cannot speak against Watts, as you are obviously learning the skills you seek, I feel that your offhand dismissal of the education I am receiving is unwarranted. I am at Knox College not only for art, but for the liberal arts education I am receiving there, the exposure to a vast array of ideas and convictions as well as the music program. I believe that we are learning different skills. I am not at Knox to learn how to perfectly reproduce with exactitude what I see. Nothing is exact and even the most real naturalistic painting is but an abstract representation of nature. I wonder what happened to the day when painters like Pollock, Malevich and MOndrian could put paint to canvas and people wouldn't look at what it was, but what it meant. I know my skills are not in the explicit depiction of nature, and that my illustrative abilities are lacking, but that doesn't discount the fact that what I have to offer is valid. I am angry, but it is just a fleeting anger. You did appear snobbish, even were it not your intention. I let it pass and hope to be able to participate in this community with you as a fellow student of ART, not just illustration. Once again, I thank you for your comments. Be well and do good work.
