“Many of his paintings represent extensive wanderings through the crowded and quickly evolving streets of Manhattan, vacations along the shores of the Northeast, and long drives across the country. He was always looking out for something that he could put on canvas and make thoroughly his own, while displaying an attentive eye for detail-his having been there at that specific place right then.”

“If he painted a train station, he included no train, no sense of the muscular force and excitement of technology, but portrayed it at night, darkened, vacant, a place that no one would go if they could avoid it, except perhaps to hide.”

“Trains are about getting as much material and as many people as possible from A to B with all due haste because we have things to get done, business to take care of, or, if lucky, vacation with family and friends to maximize before getting back to business again. The train sets the pace, and we accommodate ourselves to it as best we can, with its schedules, seating, and compartments.”
