I thoroughly enjoyed it and somehow, through David's personal knowledge of the artist felt I was closer to understanding Fuchs' aesthetic dynamo. <br /><br />Although reliance on photography was generally a professional necessity of the time and circumstance in which Fuchs was working, I believe his long term use of it to have been the key which unlocked his particular gifts; such that he devloped a way to use photography as the essential springboard for his poetry, so potently realised in his later work.chris bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088693067960235141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-71478206487509046372019-09-20T01:48:32.565-04:002019-09-20T01:48:32.565-04:00Paul Sullivan-- Many thanks.

There are many under-appreciated artists who paid a heavy price to achieve excellence in their day, but who've now been forgotten for reasons unrelated to quality (while charlatans and self-promoters pump out press releases). It's most gratifying to hear that you appreciate such work. That's why I do this.<br /><br />comicstripfan-- Hmmmm, I had no idea they taped my little talk. Obviously I'd better watch my step. (PS: Despite your inaccuracy-- or perhaps because of it-- your comment could well be my favorite in the history of this blog.)David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-68929281092802690612019-09-18T21:47:04.197-04:002019-09-18T21:47:04.197-04:00Recommended: A rather handsome Mr. Apatoff presen...Recommended: A rather handsome Mr. Apatoff presenting “Against All Odds: An Inspirational Story About the Amazing Illustrator Bernie Fuchs” on the web at: https://tv.creativetalentnetwork.comcomicstripfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830784804963989361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-16992290534629334112019-09-18T17:10:28.682-04:002019-09-18T17:10:28.682-04:00David,
