“Usually I try to visualize something before I put it into words. Words are very difficult and sometimes unforgiving. So if I could see what Rocky looked like, then perhaps I could write about him. As I began to work on this image, I didn’t want to use a brush because I felt that the character was made out of industrial tools. He was a man that was forged by the hardships of life. So I put this image up there and I started to actually carve it with a screwdriver. Then I took newspaper clippings which would reflect what it would be like to be a very poor, unsuccessful man, especially a boxer, and then, all of sudden, the image came alive. I remember saying, ‘OK, this is a character I would like to see written about because he looked interesting visually.’ If he looked interesting visually, then I think that he would translate through to literature and then cinema. I know it sounds ambitious but this was the genesis of Rocky.”
"This painting was done in the early 70’s as a study and device to help develop the character of “Rocky” for a screenplay. In addition to the main figure being (literally) carved into the painting, we can clearly see the collage of fight headlines behind the character as well as the skyline of a city behind him."
