VERSO
Signed, titled, and dated

The artist wrote, “To be an artist requires that the truth as one knows it should be stretched and bent to the aesthetic demands of the work, for facts alone do not produce art. Rather, they are the raw stuff from which a piece of art might emerge.

“I now think, albeit pretty late in the game, that the realism of a painting is honored in the breach. It’s the little glitch that often gives life to a piece of work. A quirk, a twist – something that surprises.”
