TLF: "This winter and spring were very good for my work, and I have noted that the old superstition of a seven-year cycle seems to apply my paintin, since my outstanding years for the past 21 were 1977, 1970, 1963.
My two big panels with painted grids are probably as good a pair of pictures as any I have ever done, possibly better." [103, letter to D. Curti-Feininger, May 1977]
Themes: Geometricals, Ships-Sails
