INNOCENCE ABROAD:
The Girls of Coatepec:
"The mystical Girls of Coatepec is a Mexican story. It’s told in a series of paintings of more than a dozen models from many parts of this small town and from all walks of economic life there. It’s the artist’s story, too, of course, but only secondarily, for he did no more than paint them and, when the mood struck, write about them.
For the 71-year-old American artist with a host of international credentials, those years would mark a journey that began only when he could abandon his ego to accept what his model could teach him about life, history and the culture of her proud country."
