About

about
its
____________________
we're
talking
about
what
I
would
call
a
____________________
period
____________________
that's
to
say
they
are
____________________
that
he
____________________
between
1940
and
____________________
;
and
it's
already
fully
[
____________________
]
He'd
already
invented
his
own
very
____________________
and
in
fact
____________________
____________________
of
rendering
____________________
and
he
was
already
[
a
____________________
]
.
He'd
already
had
many
solo
____________________
not
only
in
____________________
but
____________________
and
in
this
very
year
(
1956
)
he
was
representing
Great
____________________
at
the
____________________
Biennale
[
Biennial
Art
____________________
]
so
this
isn't
a
?
tight
race'
work
at
all
-
he's
____________________
in
full
____________________
.
But
there
are
two
____________________
figures
in
it
which
are
quite
____________________
and
it
is
____________________
it
might
be
____________________
you
know
in
a
____________________
painting
by
____________________
;
and
the
two
figures
are
____________________
Floate
here
a
____________________
and
his
mate
,
____________________
-
who
are
in
the
act
of
____________________
down
a
____________________
tree
to
make
____________________
to
build
field
____________________
.
They
have
a
little
____________________
here
to
keep
themselves
____________________
but
Ted
and
Peter
went
off
for
____________________
leaving
the
fire
____________________
.
Hitchens
arrived
on
the
____________________
and
saw
the
fire
got
very
____________________
because
the
whole
____________________
is
very
thickly
____________________
and
could
have
caught
fire
and
____________________
to
the
____________________
.
He
went
____________________
which
was
only
a
____________________
of
____________________
____________________
away
and
filled
his
____________________
with
____________________
and
came
back
____________________
the
____________________
.
He
awaited
the
____________________
unsuspecting
____________________
who
returned
.
They
were
____________________
angry
apparently
but
incredibly
____________________
.
I
would
have
been
extremely
____________________
if
I
my
fire
had
been
put
____________________
by
an
interloper
not
even
on
his
own
____________________
!
Ivon
was
a
____________________
person
and
he
took
no
____________________
in
____________________
.
He
may
have
taken
risks
in
____________________
but
he
took
no
risks
in
life
and
he
said
that
this
____________________
could
have
____________________
not
merely
the
____________________
but
his
____________________
and
the
____________________
in
it
so
he
had
got
a
____________________
.
Except
that
this
fire
had
been
in
a
____________________
space
and
could
not
____________________
have
done
any
____________________
at
all
.
Anyway
not
only
did
the
fire
____________________
down
but
so
did
the
____________________
between
the
two
____________________
.
To
the
extent
that
____________________
ended
up
by
asking
____________________
whether
he
would
come
and
do
some
____________________
for
him
.
Following
their
meeting
,
____________________
Floate
the
____________________
and
Ivon
Hitchens
became
____________________
____________________
until
the
artist's
____________________
in
____________________
.
Ted
worked
for
____________________
on
the
artist's
____________________
and
also
helped
with
____________________
of
the
____________________
and
even
____________________
advice
.
Hitchens
regularly
____________________
his
friend
____________________
and
____________________
,
which
even
in
those
days
was
a
____________________
gift
,
filling
Ted's
____________________
with
an
amazing
collection
of
Modern
British

art

At
85
