专家说明

In Souza's paintings, the darkened image of Man emerges, virulently depicted, with malignancy of character pervading and eroding his features into strangely disturbing ornamental patterns. This horrific formalization has no precedent in contemporary imagery and remains convincing and potently revealing whenever Souza chooses to strike.
- James Burr, 1955
