"Affective life can be seen, when studied, to offer culminating points and drifting spaces bathed in a curious light.  The inner landscape changes every minute; it does not consist of simple, independent, easily recognizable objects, but of imprints into which other imprints continuously melt.  We are behind the scenes of life, in that very place . . . where the figures of the past and those of the future 'all co-exist, like the various characters in a drama with a still unformulated plot which is nevertheless fully fashiond in the mind of its author.'  . . . "  (Surrealism and Painting by Andre Breton, translated by Simon Watson Taylor, Icon Editions, Harper & Row, New York, 1972, p. 179).

The paintings on this webpage are for sale as prints.
