Jacques Hnizdovsky (1915 - 1986) Self Portrait, 1971 etching, edition 120 with 35 artist's proofs 6 3/4 X 6 3/4" return I realize that I actually only rarely did what at the moment I liked or wanted to do. The overwhelming majority of my occupation, art not excluded, has been determined by the circumstances, often even by a pure chance. Life suggests ideas for images. With just a little observation one realizes what can be done. Today when everyone tries, at any price, to be original the lack of originality is perhaps the most original contribution to contemporary art. JH
