The posterity must consider this decoration in a historical light. It's not my job - just to give a little glimpse of an artist's creative energy and devotion to his work.It has been exciting and insightful up close to follow the creative process, and it is with great pleasure that I have undertaken to organize and "create" this book.This book is dedicated to Carl-Henning Pedersen", Sidsel Ramson, Danish/English, Year1988, Illust.
