Freeman Dyson

These words are taken from the artist's statement.

While Visiting Practitioner in Art at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton) I had the solicited pleasure of drawing Freeman Dyson, pioneer physicist and lucidest of writers on science and its moralities, one of my heroes. In this woven world connections must come to light.

It turns out that Freeman’s father was the eminent Sir George Dyson familiar to all church choristers, among whom I had often sung Dyson in G one of the evergreens of the Anglican litany. When I mentioned that my wife is working on the theme of Salome we fell to talking about Richard Strauss. Freeman remembers his coming to tea just after the war.
