Oil on canvas, 42 x 50 in.
'As far as the subjects of my pictures go, they are about one
moment of time involving particular people in relationship to
each other and also to me. After that moment has occurred all
the problems are pictorial. My pictures have become more
elaborate because I want them to contain more of the subject,
but for me the paramount difficulty is to make the picture into as
finite and solid an object as possible in physical terms and to
include nothing irrelevant or confusing. Ideally they should be
like memorials.'
