This is a bold artistic and political statement, loaded with visual sarcasm and humor. The dominant color is blue with a transparent 3-D quality. White is the secondary color. Uncle Sam, Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Betsy De Vos, and William Barr are featured actors in a one-frame movie, which is how I think of my paintings. I've been making political paintings for sixty years. It's a one-man crusade to bring content, especially political and social content, into art again, with hopefully a larger sense of purpose and respect. My work also is a statement regarding the artistic merit of editorial cartooning--the kind we associate with editorial pages of great newspapers...especially the cartoon's virtues of explicit statement, the naming of names, the painting of likenesses, and the abject refusal to speak in responsibility-shirking generalities. Everyone visiting the home of this painting's eventual owner will never forget that blue painting in the living room.

I contend that almost all contemporary art is political, in that they purport to make some point. Thus I assume wide latitude with content and style in my paintings. I reject the usual political paintings with which the collector is familiar. You know, the ones that are obsessed with screaming AIN'T IT AWFUL in some crude visual whine, as if there is a contest to see which artist can be the most hysterical. Comparatively, I have observed that newspaper political cartoonists are far more advanced in use of metaphor, humor, irony and subtleties of tone. More importantly, political cartoonists have the courage and skill to be explicit and precise of point. I am interested in adopting some of the political cartoonist's idioms into fine art. Especially the practice of naming names, confronting specific issues and making the despot the butt of a raucous joke. My paintings are examples of invoking those concerns into contemporary modern painting. It is rewarding and hilariously fun. I hope other artists follow my lead. When I am inclined to give it a name, I call it the Guernica School.
