On Chance in Artistic Creation - an 1894 essay by August Strindberg paired with paintings by Strindberg.
There's a fair number of minor typos or OCR errors in the above text, so here's another transcription, but without the paintings.

That's marvelous, moonmilk, OCR typos and all. (The paintings are essential.)

I find Strindberg pretty difficult to like, his biography seems to be 80% madness and misogyny, but I did enjoy this.
I also enjoy Strindberg and Helium.

Yeah, this is about the only Strindberg writing I've enjoyed, but it's extremely relevant to my interests, and the paintings really do add a lot to it.
I wasn't gonna mention Strindberg and Helium because a friend of mine was the animator. But I'd forgotten that friend links are no longer strictly forbidden!

I first started getting interested in Strindberg because of that strange impersonation of him in 'Mai Zetterling's Stockholm' (1979). He's something else.
