"In a way,
it's easier to frivolous individuals, and requires less responsibility, to describe with words nonexistent
things than existing ones, but
with respectful and conscientious historian happens just the opposite: there´s nothing to flee of the description in words, and that´s
more required to men, than things
that have no real appearance and whose existence can not be proved, but that, precisely because to respectful and conscientious individuals the deal as existing things are taken to take another
step toward being the possibility
of being born. Sayings of
Albertus Secundus.
Personal Melgacian (including careeristic) life has always been a challenge to (even) researchers. Echoing the stance of some in art history, he´s still those who believe that an artist ´is´ his creations. That's why he gives no information
- I emphasizing the following
word - b - i - o - graphical,
or when he gives statements, according to O.M. - in all his instigating iconoclasm -, are false. And always tries to modify them.
(Is there a more artistic act than this?) Ask what we want to know
and he´ll respond but never
will say the truth. The truth
(his truth) is the very Work.
the melgacian bio-g-r-a-p-h-y:
s-p-e-l-l his l - i - f - e is
the s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g of its Art."
