Can you imagine, me, a child of the late forties and early fifties, and growing up with museum mentors like Monet, Picasso, Braque, and all the 'Old Masters,' when suddenly you see for the first time, Franz Kline! The power, the strength of all your linear and passionate feelings of the explosive waves crashing on the rocks of Kennebunkport! And Big Sur, and the drama of Death Valley! As a high school and university student it became the way I saw everything, in elemental structural expression! And through 60 years of painting and photography, it is always, in some way, part of the varied work that is always changing and new! Peter Stilton
