Twenty Years Later

(Drawing by A. Wysocki, 1974)
The next time I sat for a portrait was 20 years later, on the bench in front of the pear trees at the farmhouse of my spiritual mentor Michał Michalak in Kaszowo. This pen and ink drawing was done by Alfred right around the time he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. At this stage of my life I was 22 years old, had finished my B.A., had a 17 year-old girlfriend, and was spending the year contemplating what my next steps would be.
