The Painter with His Crane in a Boat

A very important early work that begins to establish intense concentration on how the figure can offer expression of emotional conflict, meaning and one’s journey through life. Work from the early 1970’s aligned with the timely interest of combining drawing and poetry, written words on the drawing, large open spaces around a single figure or 2, and a school of thought that was followed by several students to their great acclaim. This model can be seen in the series with Harold across the table with important men, and other works key to this formative time period.
