Abstract
I am a painter and a philosopher and I am interested in the question: What is the relation between my selfdevelopment and my artistic development? (Examples of my paintings are shown in Figs. 1 to 3 and Fig. 4, see color plate.) I shall set out a personal program or a schematic map to help locate my 'self in it. Though Karl Popper's schematic map is rather different from mine, he makes clear his view that such maps are 'part of our ordinary consciousness of self. Popper says: 'This model or map, I suggest, with our own position marked on it, is part of our ordinary consciousness of self. It normally exists in the form of vague dispositions or programmes; but we can focus our attention upon it whenever we wish, whereupon it may become more elaborate and precise. This map or model is one of a great number of conjectural theories about the world which we hold and which we almost constantly call to our aid, as we go along and as we develop, specify, and realize, the programme and the timetable of the actions in which we are engaged' [1].
