Literature
"I once enquired whether he had ever considered poultry as a subject … True to form, he came up with something quite different: a remarkable series of canvases emerged, of single cockerels. Each grand creature strutted atop a wall, with that singular blend of brainlessness and heroic stance, the whole in a wildly decorative rendering that gives the pictures an immediate and lasting impact."
Guy Graf van Moy
