Although the great artist William Pachner is no longer among the living, his authentic life is among those which merits reflection by us all.

An interview with a painter can be anything from a disaster to a transcendent experience. This interview is one of the best I have read in my sixty-eight years! Be true to yourself--that is the creed of a true artist in my estimation. William Pachner does not disappoint the reader, his final audience in this his final interview at age 102 1/2! His pain, his wonder, his confusion, his delight, his love, his challenges--his lifelong ambition to be, become, and will himself into being are the features of an artist true to himself. I hope that you are inspired by this great read!
