Saul Steinberg, Illustrator*
Reichek invented his own ritual --a form of graphic liturgy of great
beauty and intelligence. We can find temporary salvation by seeing
and especially experiencing Reichek's work.
*Saul Steinberg

Russell Edson,
Poet*
Reichek's work is like a written language from another planet, with all
the suggestiveness of poetry written in English. On this planet
they're called paintings and drawings, but I'm sure someplace these
works would be considered texts. One feels that perhaps behind them is a
complete culture.
*Russell Edson
born in Connecticut in 1935, Considered by many
America's foremost writer of prose poetry.
