3 black and white images of Bufano: the first one is with Finnish socialite, reporter, and photojournalist Tabe Slioor.

“In truth he [Bufano] belongs neither to the past nor the present. His spirit is of the future, the spirit of a world yet to come, the world of brotherhood, of peace, harmony, beauty. He has eyes in his hands, as one will see now and then in his sculpture.”Henry Miller, author
