Note du spécialiste

"For me the challenge of painting lies implicit within the act--to penetrate inherited conceptual deposits and attempt the possible impingement of spirit, the personal image, remains the enduring command of conscience."

(Ernest Briggs quoted in Twelve Americans, exh. cat., The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1956)
