Forty fifty and two

So sick at 40 that he writes on the drawing that he feared he would not make it to fifty, longing for a you, lonely and in despair. That was Tony too. The lesson from this drawing is to make beauty out of your misery. The text says: three times so soft I walk me at forty so sick I fifty now this moon and two long for a you. Painted in Antwerp, 1983. He made till 67.
