Lot Essay

Philipson started the Threnody series in the late 1960s and it occupied him, periodically, over the next twenty years. The inspiration of a threnody, or lamentation on someone's death, came from a threnody from a collection of poems sent to him by his sister, Phyllis, while he was in Burma during the war.
