Reich came to enjoy painting later in his life. Artist Josh Dayton wrote an essay that collects diary entries of Reich's and contextualizes them within his own observations of Reich's art. The following are excerpts from Reich's personal diary:

Jan. 26, 1951 – "I began to paint yesterday. The form and color streams right out of my fingers onto the canvas."

Jan. 30, 1951 – "I discovered through Eva PAINTING – what a way of expressing oneself."

February 1, 1951 – "I continue painting. There is usually only a core of an idea. Around this core the colors and forms group themselves quite on their own. This is true self-regulation."

Feb. 8, 1951 – "I am painting one picture after another. I discovered a new way of expression. A good way, a way of seeing. I paint from memory, from what I have seen over the years. The orgone did not come through fully. It will, in due time. I am waiting for SPRING."

A photocopy of Josh Dayton's essay, Impressions of Wilhelm Reich as an Artist is available for purchase from the Museum Bookstore.
