THE ORIGIN OF BLUEBEARD

For many Years I used myself Robin Page, as the Model for Myself in pictures representing my thoughts. In 1987, on holiday from European canvas on an isolated Canadian island, I received a visitation from the Spirit of Bluebeard which said It had seen in my work the ideal medium for Its materialization. The Spirit offered me a deal: in exchange for the promise of eternal life, youth, health, wealth, and happiness I would abandon the identity of Robin Page and allow my Person, energy, talent, and creative thinking to be used as the host for the materialization of Bluebeard. Wow! I agreed immediately! Eternal life... Since our pact I have been walking around with this ridiculous blue beard on my face, thinking His thoughts and translating them into spirited Promoganda for his Amuseum. He insists that I work to elevate "My message and image out of the mind-fucking ghetto of the last hundred years of visual art to an aggressively heroic, independent, sublimely irreverent inspirational entertainment." Holy shit, is that all? I am not at liberty to disclose the full scope fo His program, message, or ambitions, or His vision for mankind for the... for the next... for the next thousand years!! These will be revealed at appropriate times through the medium of pictures from the Bluebeard Amuseum Collection. I am authorized, though, to invite others to abandon their petty egos and join with all their energies, talents - and worldly goods - in celebrating the Greatness that is Bluebeard. (Naturally in exchange for the promise of eternal life, youth, etc.) So I, Bluebeard, say to you now what I said to Robin Page then: don't ask "What can the hamburger do for me? but rather "How can I be the beef?"
