Notes
'By 1965 he had matured into a painter of authority and vision; his canvases had grown considerably in scale and his compositions had been purified of all irrelevant notation. The mountains and the sea and the spiritual experience of space in such environs provided the central theme ... (He) was the starred artist in the SA entry to the São Paulo Biennial.'
Esmé Berman

São Paulo Biennial, 1967.
