The conception of this book began in 1985 and was completed during Yannis Tsarouchis’ lifetime. He personally approved the slide separations and the initial typographical proofs. In 1981, Tsarouchis wrote his pictorial Autobiography and, in 1987, dictated the captions for its photographs in the third person. Between 1987 and 1988, he also provided the titles for the works and offered comments on many of the paintings. These comments were printed as an insert to help readers compare them with the corresponding artworks. In 1988, Tsarouchis wrote the epilogue for the book. The texts in this publication were preserved exactly as the artist dictated them. Additionally, when referencing museums or institutions in the captions, the index number of each work is included.
Translated fert rom the postcript: "Every time I took to reach the perfection that we all desire. Living in a time today where freedom in the background does not exist, my work will surprise many of these people who want to reach the apostolic perfect. I belong to the researchers who turn to an instinctive perfect and who have his image in them, not caring about my mistakes and my failures. Looking for the good is better than the good. And all of us are fighting for a lost cause, but one that seems to us to be so evil at the time in which we live. I'm also looking for the laws of art at the Academy, but I'll never reach them, I know. The pleasure of seeking is better than finding. Picasso said: "I don't look but I find". This phrase is not correct, because Picasso searched and many times found something related to what he wanted.
In 1980, one day I fell sharply to the ground and broke my collarbone. A little later it was Parkinson's that appeared, radically changing my life and my painting. A bunch of redeeming things I had found were despised by me and I preferred certain other elements of myself, more eternal and deeper perhaps. I ended up drawing with pencil and oil pastels, mainly from imagination or from nature. Some characteristics of my childhood came back, but the brushes scared me, while I achieved the design as I wanted as a small child and I did not achieve it.
Pastel, which was the first material I used as a child, became for a while my only almost beloved means of expression. The track I had when I was young, when I started painting with brushes, came back for a while, but gave birth to a different use of them, which I still don't know how to say what fruits it will yield. But I don't know if this information is related to art or if it is related to the consequences of Parkinson's disease. (Inventory #: 54691)
