STABLE GALLERY 33 EAST 74TH STREET, NEW YORK 21, N.Y. RE 7-0100

COMMENT

I paint the American Scene (a non-provincialism, for, in truth, this has become in large part the world reality) in an American way (automatically & perforce this reads new) which is a style characterized by high color (combustible polychromy), high relief (the hard-edged rationale), high poetry (the sharp focus metaphor), high refinement (a classical idealization) & high endeavor (commensurate with the best and the most awful American tradition of Lofty Purpose), or, in more Hoosier-graphic words: my art is a disciplined high dive - high soar, simultaneous & polychromous, an exaltation of the verbal-visual...my dialogue.
