PORTRAIT OF A TWENTY—THREE—YEAR OLD MAN
PAINTED BY HIS AMATEUR FRIEND OF THE SAME AGE
He finished the portrait yesterday at noon. Now
he studies it in detail. He has painted him in a gray
unbuttoned suit, dark gray; without
vest and tie. With a rose colored shirt:
opened at the collar so as to reveal
the beauty of his neck and of his chest.
His forehead to the right almost entirely
covered by his hair, his beautiful hair
(combed in the way he likes it this year).
There is this completely lustful tone
that he tried to create when he painted the eyes,
when he did the lips… His mouth, those lips
that were made for a complete erotic fulfillment.
