...coincidence, the montage appeared the same day last December as West German President Heinrich Lübke's annual game hunt for diplomats in Westphalia, giving the Iranian ambassador opportunity to vent his indignation point-blank to the chief of state. Lübke's sympathy for the envoy's case was hardly reduced by the fact that the Stadt-Anzeiger had vigorously opposed Lübke's re-election as President in 1964.

Camped for six months in a dark den called the Five Spot, Coleman gave vent to a new style of atonal jazz, a free association of angular and seemingly disjointed sounds that brought curious jazzmen flocking to the club. Many, like Modernist Composer Gunther Schuller, found it "the first realization of all that is merely implicit in the music of Charlie Parker." Leonard Bernstein cried, "Genius!"

This leisurely, carefree, open stance does not fit him for long, for within three years he produces the 1901 drypoint self-portrait, showing himself poised in a scream. All the features of the face in this self-portrait work together to vent this scream--all except the eyes. The drawn muscles of the face, the stretched mouth, the twisted lips and the lines in the forehead leading down past the nose--express a sensitive adolescent's wild and frustrated response to a confusing world. But the eyes are open and alert...
