Marvin and Ruth Sackner are the pioneer collectors of concrete and visual poetry and the most loyal and active supporters that my work has yet found. These two portrait drawings would not belong naturally to their collection except that I embedded their names in the works (in order to give a marginal word content) before presenting them to the sitters for their great archive in Miami. Marvin Sackner is a noted physician and inventor who first came across my work in an exhibition at the Basle Kunsthalle in 1975 at which time he was a specialist collector of Russian avant garde material.

I made six small paintings of Fay Ballard, the press officer of the Royal Academy, in 1987. Since Fay could only sit after office hours these winter works were, unusually for me, all done by electric light and mostly at a single sitting. (T.P.)

Ruth
1988
Oil on board
19.1 x 14
Not signed

I've always experienced particular difficulty in drawing or painting my own family. One ambitious portrait of my former wife went through many patient sittings before being abandoned. The novelty of a first child led to drawings of Ruth as a baby yet I've never managed to capture her spirit since, apart from perhaps in this small oil study. My only near success with Leo has been when drawing him playing the violin; I cannot explain why they prove so elusive. (T.P.)

Christopher Logue, poet, translator, and contributor to Private Eye (who has so far featured me twice in Pseud's Corner) though I have known him since the sixties, when he was among the first people to notice my work, has only recently become a neighbour. This has made more easily realisable a long held desire to make a drawing of him. (T.P.)

Jane McAusland
1989
Oil on canvas
76.2 x 50.8
[No signature given]

Jane McAusland, one of the world's foremost conservators, is a friend long close and it now seems obscure why we have only recently got around to working together on a portrait. The Sharaku Actors on the wall behind her recollect the time we spent together in Japan in 1985, and the hint of the Senufo chair she is sitting on reflects our mutual interest in African art. The Japanese prints whose shape is echoed by the picture as a whole also refer to her work as a paper restorer. (T.P.)

Art historian and scholar of Korean culture.

Dr Pak sits in front of a fictitious scroll. Before she went on holiday in the middle of the sittings I asked her to write out her name on a sheet of paper. I made a version of this, drawn and shaped as my taste dictated, writing so to speak in the dark. I was nervous on her return in case I had written gobbledygook. She burst out laughing on seeing the picture. My heart sank. Happily though she turned out to be laughing at the size of the characters rather than their calligraphic quality.

My Mother at 18 and 88
1989
Oil on canvas.
71.1 x 91.5
[No signature given]

A daring weekend by the sea in 1919 is recorded in a battered snapshot by her then gentleman-friend Maurice Price whose failure finally to win my mother's hand I must thank for my existence. The picture on the fictitions wall (whose wallpaper echoes very early visual memories of decorative boxes that my mother had for her cosmetics) was in fact done from life at my Talfourd Road studio (June to September 1989). (T.P.)
