Specialist note

"I am trying to build a situation to its most poignant moment, the one where all its possibilities are exposed. It's frozen just short of resolved action. I don't want to pin something down. These are multiple meanings - multiple and simultaneous meanings." (E. Fischl as quoted in Eric Fischl, Scenes Before the Eye: The Evolution of the Year of the Drowned Dog and Floating Islands, exh. cat. Long Beach, 1986.)
