The Owner of a Hacienda Here is that mystery on the “origins” of art. I have no idea how this “head” came from my head. I do not know why this figure was shaped. I did not know what I was doing. My wife suggested that I put the eyes and ears in the right place and that I should give them the proper shape. Amateurs need help like this.   The Owner of a Hacienda This bust looks to me like the owner of a great hacienda. Could this image come from a western movie? Or, could it signal some past life? At the moment, now, this head says to me: O, I have pass’d a miserable night, So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams, That, as I am a Christian faithful man, I would not spend another such a night, Though ‘twere to buy a world of happy days. William Shakespeare, King Henry VI
