From an early age he had a natural talent for the arts, so much so that during his school years, his teachers encouraged him to take classes at the Toledo Museum. He studied there for eight years.

During World War II, he served with the tank destroyers in five campaigns. When he returned from the war, he studied art and sculpture at the Art Student's League in New York. He then went to Mexico for eight months to study and paint. While in Mexico, he fell in love with the country, its people and arts, vowing one day to return and live - which he did in 1947.

This stunning piece from 2007 is a classic example of his modernist figures entitled "Friends and Family on Holiday'. Painting itself in good condition, frame has significant damage - please see photos. See less
