{"value"=>"<p>The journals begin during Tillim's army service in Berlin, pause while he is studying at Syracuse University, and pick up again after his graduation, when he moved to California for two years. They provide a record of the New York art scene as witnessed by an artist and critic, as well as a unique window into Bennington College. The journals are also intimate, and record his psychological states, as well the break-up of Tillim's first marriage to Muriel Tillim. Tillim later returned to nurse her through cancer until her death in 1996, and entries are sparse during these years. The journals then resume and continue to close to the end of his life in 2001. In earlier journals, Tillim's handwriting is legible, but it gradually becomes less readable from the 1950s onward. The journals also contain occasional insertions of clippings, drawings, or letters. The Journals are in 41 volumes dating from 1945 to 2001, numbered 1 through 43 (there are no volumes numbered 4 or 40).</p>"}
