评论: During the 1930s he was a biomorphic abstractionist, influenced by Miro and Arp. By the 1940s, his art had become more neoplastic, and beginning in 1947 he was creating the shaped canvases for which he is best known: diamond shaped ones at first, followed by ovals and odd rectangles. In 1961, he began applying his favored primary colors to column-like three-dimensional forms. Preferred media: oils, acrylics, wood, metal, plastics.
