Historical Context:
"I simplify what I paint, reducing everything to its most graphic and simple form and color. I’m not interested in portraiture; I try to move away from faces in the sort of content that facial expressions might create, instead delivering general information that’ more animated and really deals with the whole figure as a moving force." - Robert Barnum
