What happens when an American artist loves European art and history? Takes his first commercial flight, flying from Albuquerque to California, witnessing the change from desert to agricultural lands from the air? This same man views the 1952 retrospective of Henri Matisse? Art that is flat out cool, varied, timeless and beautiful. Art that is totally modern but also employs elements of the men who came before him Cezanne, Matisse, Mondrian.
"I am really a traditional painter, not avant-garde at all. I wanted to follow a tradition and extend it." - Richard Diebenkorn.
