Included in many prominent museum collections including the Whitney Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and Fogg Art Museum.
He was mostly influenced by the De Stijl movement that started in Holland with artists like Piet Mondrian. Another influence was Kasmir Malevich, another artist I have covered here. Other artists working in a similar manner would be Karl Benjamin and Ellsworth Kelly.
He attacks his work with the enthusiasm of completing a puzzle.
What a great sense of design and use of color!
