TLF: "A group of Eliot House students invited me [in 1962] to give an evening class in drawing and painting. For two years we met, twice a week... I became quite attached to this enterprise... Besides two “Eliot House Still-Lifes” with Venus and guitar, respectively, there are four figure compositions traceable to the Life Class... The emotional value of them forms an important part of what I have designated as "Poetic Space"." [105]
