The artist in his own words spoke of his work in the 1964 issue of "Prize-Winning Watercolors" in which one of his paintings was featured: " The recurrent theme of my work is the interpretation and recording of the passage of time in its relationship to man and the evidence of his being. This I try to communicate by depicting man and his structures...old houses, buildings, signboards, deserted motion picture theaters, amusement parks, bridges, storefronts... all the aspects of the city monuments erected by man for man. Being born and reared in the city, my work naturally reflects and is motivated by my particular environment. The destruction in the so-called name of progress of these old and memory-laden structures causes me a sense of sadness and regret, a nostalgia for the passing of a by-gone era. If a particular emphasis seems to be placed on theme and subject, this is intentional, For my purposes, the subject and its mood are the first consideration.Everything else is subordinated to the feeling of the subject."
