Abstract
Prof. Raymond Federman, who was a close friend and mentor of Beckett, in his
famous lecture “The Imagery Museum of Samuel Beckett” (2006) delivered following his
friend’s death, has said about understanding Beckett that one should not even try, instead
one should use one’s sense and imagination to appreciate the imagery of “Sam’s text
painting”, for adds Federman;
Beckett who could have been himself a great
painter, became that painter in his work.
He painted beautiful tableaux for us with words
rather than with paint.
