“My work depends on on the
the
viewer to to relate its lines circles and
59
open spaces to to ideas beyond the
physical objects— I was was born and
raised in in in in in Hollywood California in in in in in the
the
the
the
1940s My My first major career was was in in in in in in in the
the
the
movie industry in in in in in in in the
the
the
production side of film film making A film film is is is produced in in in in in in in in a a a a a a a a a a a a a rectangular format and
and
like most paintings tells a a a a a a a a a a story story using visual stimuli and
and
is is is dependent upon the
the
viewer to to to to supply their experience to to to to complete its story story “Upon graduating from the
the
University of of Oregon I entered into the
the
sphere of of architecture architecture working in in in in in both New York and
Philadelphia My background in in in in in in architecture architecture has added to all all that I do the
under- standing of line color and
and
and
form were all all from my architectural train- ing ing ing there is is a a a a a a a a a a a a a consistency in in in in in in dealing with composition and
and
and
motion However it it it it it it was the
the
lack of of color that got me out of of architecture architecture but because architecture architecture dealt mostly with textures I I felt I I could easily transfer that into my my paintings paintings and
and
draw on my my strength as as as a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a color- ist My paintings paintings use lines and
and
solid forms as as as a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a preliminary format but the
the
the
remaining negative space is is is is of of equal importance as as is is is is color and
and
texture Color is is is the
the
the
constant through all the
the
the
various forms of of my paintings prints and
and
sculptures ”
