I beg you help me.´, further continuing ´There are two ways, one would be sending me, lending me some money. (I might return it one day). The other would be ordering me a bust of you or someone of your family, you will be satisfied. If you want, I will send you my last book, `The Truth about my Father´. My literature works are insufficient to get me out of misery...´. A letter of excellent content, not least for its two references to his father.

* HAIDEE BECKER (AMERICAN b 1950), TWO ON AN OVAL PLATE oil on canvas, signed, inscribed and dated 2010 verso 48cm x 68cm Framed Note: Note: Born 1950 in Los Angeles, California. Lives and works in London. Former pupil of Uli Nimptsch RA and Adrian Ryan, London. Studied with Elizabeth Keys, Herta Kötner and Anthony Whishaw, London. Fritz Wotruba, Vienna. Full biography at www.haideebecker.com ...... ''After that, I got to know some of her still lives and flowers. They have, for me, the essential quality; the revelation of a passionate inwardsness, like portraits of hypnagogic images just about to materialize, lit and shadowed with a turbulent yet magnetic inner form. The depth is the psychological depth of great sweetness - gently and powerfully focused. Living with them has confirmed all my first impressions about them.'' - Ted Hughes, Poet Laureate of Great Britain.
