Say anything you want against The Seventh Seal. My fear of death—this infantile fixation of mine—was, at that moment, overwhelming. I felt myself in contact with death day and night, and my fear was tremendous. When I finished the picture, my fear went away. I have the feeling simply of having painted a canvas in an enormous hurry — with enormous pretension but without any arrogance. I said, 'Here is a painting; take it, please.' Ingmar Bergman, from an interview with Charles Thomas Samuels, 1971. ¶ I was embarrassed for myself when I realised I still haven't seen any Ingmar Bergman pictures and the shame was enough for me to add two immediately to my queue. Bergman passed away this past Monday. That evening, on the CBC, they interviewed David Cronenberg (I drew him, too). They asked him some questions about Bergman, about filmmaking, and about being an artist. Cronenberg made interesting points about autobiography inherent in art works, Bergman's dream of being a writer, and of pouring oneself into their creative work.
