"The visitor will be struck by a palpable sense of esthetic camaraderie, almost of such collaboration as might be found in a survey of Fauvist or Cubist works. The show speaks clearly of a close-knit circle of artists working on a shared problem—how to parlay Abstract Expressionism’s innovative scale, shallow pictorial space and outspoken brushwork into a viable figurative style, one that reflected the world at large as much as the artist’s private encounter with the canvas." —Roberta Smith, New York Times (August 29, 1990)
