This is it: Justinus Kerner had published Kleksographien, a book of inkblot-inspired poems in 1857. Kerner, a physician and a painter of some repute, had produced inkblots "through chance" by folding a piece of paper on which some ink had been dropped. He then wrote poems inspired by each of the inkblots. The published book was well received in German-speaking countries and was probably known to Rorschach. from www.whonamedit.com >From: Helena Ivins <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The UK drawing research network mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: Author seeks hlep with book >Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2006 10:55:40 +0000 > >Where to start with doodling?
