I was living in Italy -far south, outside of Napoli- when Buñuel died, so I was again summoned by Pflasterstrand to write the central article, which I managed to get through the Italian post in time to meet the deadline. Here is a scan of the full page and following half page they ran. As I was absent, somebody titled it A Visionary Boxer based on my final paragraph: “I see within me the famous 1930 photograph by Man Ray: Buñuel, sitting on a narrow bed, arms across his knees in a striped collarless shirt – posed like a boxer at rest.” They didn’t run the correct photo for my article, but instead used the kind of amateur graphics which, in those days, passed for avant garde in Germany. Somehow the translator also distorted my reference to his days with Dalí and Lorca to Buñuel “belonged to the Catalonian elite.” He was, of course, Aragonese.
