something  the  artist  selects  of  his  own  volition;  but  is  determined  by  the

artist’s past and his forgotten memories。 He also showed me how these secret

faults; weaknesses and defects; at one time such a source of shame they were

concealed so we wouldn’t be estranged from the old masters; will henceforth

emerge  to  be  praised  as  “personal  characteristics’  or  ”style;“  because  the

European  masters  have  spread  them  over  the  world。  Henceforth;  thanks  to

fools  who  take  pride  in  their  own  shortings;  the  world  will  be  a  more

colorful and more stupid and; of course; a much more imperfect place。”

The fact that Black confidently believed in what he said proved that he was

one of the new breed of fools。

“Was  Master  Osman  able  to  explain  why;  for  years;  I  drew  hundreds  of

horses with regular nostrils in Our Sultan’s books?” I asked。

“It was due to the love and beatings he gave all of you in your childhood。

Because  he  was  both  father  and  beloved  to  you  all;  he  doesn’t  see  that  he

associates all of you with himself and each of you with the others。 He didn’t

want  you  each  to  have  a  style  of  your  own;  he  wanted  the  royal  atelier  as  a

whole to have a style。 Because of the awesome shadow he cast over all of you;

you  forgot  what  came  from  within;  the  imperfections;  the  elements  and

differences  that  fell  outside  the  confines  of  standard  forms。  Only  when  you

painted for other books and other pages; which Master Osman’s eyes would

never see; did you draw the horse that had lain within you all those years。”

“My mother; may she rest in peace; was more intelligent than my father;” I

said。 “One night I was at home; in tears; determined never again to return to

the  workshop  because  I  was  daunted  not  only  by  Master  Osman’s  beatings;

but  by  those  of  the  other  harsh  and  irritable  masters  and  by  those  of  the

division  head  who  always  intimidated  us  with  a  ruler。  In  consolation;  my

dearly departed mother advised me that there were two types of people in the

world: those who were cowed and crushed by their childhood beatings; forever

downtrodden; she said; because the beatings had the desired effect of killing

the inner devils; and those fortunate ones for whom the beatings frightened

and tamed the devil within without killing him off。 Though the latter group

would never forget these painful childhood memories—she’d warned me not

to tell this to anybody—the beatings would in time enable them to develop

cunning;  to  fathom  the  unknown;  to  make  friends;  to  identify  enemies;  to

sense  plots  being  hatched  behind  their  backs  and;  let  me  hasten  to  add;  to

paint better than anyone else。 Because I wasn’t able to draw the branches of a
