William Burroughs, Untitled text on Guy Harloff, Exhibition Catalogue, Paris, December 1961. (Note: This same text was published in <a href="texts/untitled-text-on-guy-harloff-bizarre-magazine/">Bizarre magazine in 1963</a>.)
</p>
<p>
Painting is a silent language of juxtaposition, is a form of writing &#8212; In the painting of Harloff isolated words used as <b>objects</b> remind the observer: words <b>are</b> objects shifting connotation as they are moved through a matrix of neon symbols that characterize the color world of Harloff. There is another world of black and white in Harloff&#8217;s recent work that evokes the blending of objects in three dimensional frames achieved in a successful photo collage. Placed against wall or window or curtain forms a composition that is say a statement &#8212; (Harloff in fact has used the collage form in his early early work then passed beyond the limitations imposed by solid three dimensional objects &#8212; ) Harloff&#8217;s painting will continue to develope [sic] revealing like a negative a view or map of &#8220;reality&#8221; which must be painted or photographed before it is seen.

Nanos Valaoritis, Untitled text on Guy Harloff, Exhibition Catalogue, Paris, December 1961.
</p>
<p>
L&#8217;oeuvre de Guy Harloff peut &ecirc;tre compar&eacute;e &agrave; une s&eacute;rie de cris embl&eacute;matiques, ces cris de faits divers rarement entendus de la rue, exclamations de bonheur, de col&egrave;re, d&#8217;extase, de r&eacute;volte, de mis&egrave;re, &eacute;manations-d&eacute;tonations d&#8217;&eacute;motions, illustr&eacute;s, comme pour apprendre aux enfants &agrave; dire et &agrave; lire, c&#8217;est-&agrave;-dire &agrave; un adulte &agrave; vivre, un rebus d&#8217;images indicatives, de m&eacute;daillons explicatifs. Ce c&ocirc;t&eacute; didactique n&#8217;est pas seulement un paradigme pour autrui, mais aussie une autodiagnose continuelle, ce sont des mandalas obsessives, m&eacute;thodiques, d&eacute;sesp&eacute;r&eacute;es, hallucinantes et voice que le d&eacute;lire approche, un d&eacute;lire symbolique, le tout mont&eacute; en couleurs d&#8217;une ga&icirc;t&eacute; factice de f&ecirc;te foraine, de Paris &#8220;by night,&#8221; place Blanche, boulevard Clichy, clins d&#8217;oeils, strip-tease, nus, sex, bagarres, abandons ineffables d&#8217;une nuit de caresses, &eacute;rotisme &agrave; couteaux tir&eacute;s sous menace d&#8217;&ecirc;tre &eacute;gorg&eacute; d&#8217;une minute &agrave; l&#8217;autre. Ensuite, sa Majest&eacute;-le-Coeur se l&egrave;ve, &eacute;clair&eacute; par une bougie &#8212; et les soleils mystiques avec leurs flamm&egrave;ches toujours diff&eacute;rentes, aux alentours &#8212; cercles vicieux, prisons, prismes et triangles, qui deviennent les astres lib&eacute;rateurs du grand destin universel. Enfin, voil&agrave; le Coeur-Soleil en personne, baign&eacute; dans un vert d&#8217;eau-de-mer transparente, avec son oeil vigilant, surmont&eacute; d&#8217;un autre oeil beaucoup plus petit, entour&eacute; de feuilles vivaces et soulign&eacute; par le toujours inexplicable centim&egrave;tre. Je dis que le d&eacute;lire approche, attention, sous forme de lettres abracadabrantes, de mots lanc&eacute;s en toute direction et dans toutes les langues, connues et inconnues, comme des allumettes allum&eacute;es par les grands froids pour se r&eacute;chauffer les ongles, des lettres en arabe, en grec, en h&eacute;breu, en latin, qui tournent en rond &#8212; c&#8217;est la tour de Babel savante du Samedi soir des inconnus, en tenue de ville, c&eacute;libataires c&eacute;l&egrave;bres en qu&ecirc;te de noces &#8212; mais qui c&eacute;l&egrave;bre-t-on? Est-ce la f&ecirc;te de quelqu&#8217;un? Il existe des prisonniers qui &eacute;crivent et qui dessinent sur les murs de leur prison, il existe des mains qui font des signes furtifs sur les murs de la nuit, des mains clandestines, qui, pour se lib&eacute;rer de leur secret, vice our certitude, crient leur menace de mort ou leur promesse de vie d&#8217;oixeaux nocturnes, il existe aussi des peintres pench&eacute;s sur leur table de travail, rues G&icirc;t-le-Coeur et Mouffetard, qui, avec acharnement, avec persistence et avec obstination, tracent leurs lettres d&#8217;amour et d&#8217;amertume, sous forme d&#8217;exorcismes et d&#8217;avertissements envers eux-m&ecirc;mes, pour apaiser leur sort, pour exciter leur rage de quelque chose d&#8217;autre et pour d&eacute;mentir leur angoisse envahissante du lendemain. Vivre, oui, mais comment, &agrave; quelle heure, de quelle fa&ccedil;on, avec cqui, avec quoi et pourquoi &#8212; ici, ou ailleurs, o&ugrave; les hommes sont meilleurs et les femmes innocentes encore, s&#8217;offrent toutes seules, comme dans le temps du Vieux No&eacute;, avant l&#8217;alphabet, mais apr&egrave;s le d&eacute;luge, apr&egrave;s le cataclysme et la confusion des langues et la dispersion des peuples sur la terre.

William Burroughs, Untitled text on Guy Harloff, <i>Bizarre</i> 28, 1963. (Note: This text was first printed in the <a href="texts/untitled-text-on-guy-harloff/">1961 Guy Harloff exhibition catalogue</a>.)
</p>
<p>
Painting is a silent language of juxtaposition, is a form of writing. In the painting of Harloff isolated words occur used as objects remind the observer: words are objects shifting connotation as they are moved through a matrix of neon symbols that characterize the color world of Harloff. There is another world of black and white in Harloff&#8217;s recent work that evokes the blending of objects in three dimensional frames achieved in a successful photo collage. Placed against wall or window or curtain forms a composition that is say a statement &#8212; (Harloff in fact has used the collage form in his early work then passed beyond the limitations imposed by solid three dimensional objects) &#8212; Harloff&#8217;s painting will continue to develope [sic] revealing like a negative a view or map of &#8220;reality&#8221; which must be painted or photographed before it is seen.
