"His enabling invention starts with his drawing forms freely in wax. He selects and combines these elements into free-standing wax models the best of which are cast in bronze. The larger versions he fabricates - impeccably - from bronze sheet. Through it all, the expressive freedom of drawing is retained but, inevitably, the process is influenced by temperament. How lucky we are that this sculptor's temperament, in defiance of the aesthetic rules of the age, avoids the dark places of our subconscious to create works of verve and harmony and, in the ultimate act of defiance, of sheer beauty."
