Donald Sultan to Stephen Coppel, email 30 January 2014, artist's notes: 'This is the topiary cypress tree. Bending nature to man’s aesthetic- in black and green, the overall look was to reference Leger and old woodblock prints. It was made in Juan Les Pins in the south of France - one of the three images from my time there. They are called 'Tramp Pictures' as a reference to a “Tramp Abroad” by Mark Twain. This was one of the first prints, one of the thoughts I had was “Is it possible that I could spend three months in the south of France and only produce a picture of a pickle?”
