FROM FIGURATIVE TO EXPRESSIONISM

“[…] certain increasingly pronounced figures, crushed by a turgid, smoky color like those of some secentists, with still lifes that seem to be smoothed by a color that has no smears or boundaries in the mark but an absolute continuity; the aching figures of clowns, so dramatized by tonal impastoes that seem to cut parallel to the sheet, his dewy landscapes, which are beset with color in the brutal immediacy typical of the expressionists or the tonal refinement of the fauves or when he transforms man and environment into a whole, giving it the appearance of a monstrous robot.”

Francis Leale, 1966
