WILLIAM SAROYAN | UNTITLED (FRESNO #9)

Estate of Don Brewer

Acquired from the above by the present owner

“Long before Jackson Pollock, for instance, had begun his magnificent experiments and made his magnificent achievements in painting, I had already been there, I had already made the experiments and had beheld the achievements. I hadn’t made anything of them because writing was my life, and, if I may say so, my business. The drawings and paintings were part of my writing, partly of my finding out about writing, and about how I would live my life and write my writing.” 

-William Saroyan
