UNIVERSALITY OF MAN

I painted this as six individual canvases to be displayed in a horizontal line. When finished, I asked a visitor what she thought the paintings were about. She said “There’s a lot of skeletons so I guess it’s about Halloween.”  I realized that this series needed a lot of explanation. I wrote a paragraph entitled THE UNIVERSALITY OF MAN and had my photographer arrange  a montage with the photographs framing the explanation.
