"There is a kind of spectral presence that illumines the surface qualities of these paintings with something that is not inherent in the materials and forms alone."
- Thomas Albright, San Francisco Chronicle, November 15, 1979
His imagery goes back to tribal symbols (Cherokee) and the drawings in tepees, shields and drums, all of it taken out of its literal contexts and given an extra thrust of visual meaning through abstraction.
- Alfred Frankenstein, San Francisco Chronicle 1978
Few of the artists of California achieved much recognition before the 1970s. Yet their influence was profound, broadening the definition of what art could be, carving out a place for West Coast artistic activity, providing examples of working artists (often as teachers) who were making California something more than New York's outback.
