Well I can go on an tell you a ton of facts but none of it matters unless you go and see it. I can't even describe the moment that I walked into the Museum and saw one of his larger works and it was almost like everything was sucked out of the room. His work is about the energy that was put into the painting. That is all that really matters even though I have......
