E is for Ecstasy by Nicholas Saunders

Appendix 1: Reference Section

133 Interview with Max Shertz, 27/10/93

Mr Shertz is an artist in his sixties who first took E in February 92. It was with his estranged wife, and it was the best experience of his life, spent in passionate kissing but without an erection. As he has high blood pressure, a friend monitored him the first time, and subsequently he has monitored his own blood pressure when using MDMA and found the increase was not excessive.

Mr Shertz told me he is an established artist with work in 40 museums and is known for his well-established style. However, after taking Ecstasy he made a breakthrough - his good, strict realistic style became fluid and abstract. He has never painted on Ecstasy, and does not directly attribute the change to its influence, although his artist friend Daniel Kaufman does. However, he has written poetry which he claims was greatly inspired by the drug.
