I am pleased to invite all those interested in art as a dynamic force, to view my portfolio. It is no coincidence that in the study and history of man, ART has always played the dominant roll. To study man, we study History. Written history is plagued with lies and distortions causing us to read between the lines, to get to the truth. The language of art on the other hand is sublime in its intention. It (art) always seeks to reveal the truth. Thus we feel safe in the study of Art as "The Study of Man". Man is what we want to know about. Not "History”, since history by itself is nothing but a series of anecdotes. ART, instead, is in fact its own measuring stick. When art is false it smells sour. Sometimes it stinks. It reveals itself as Kitsch. When this happens we must resign to the realization that we are in that sorry state of decadence, sometimes referred to as narcissism. The pendulum swings up and then down, and so it is.
