Single Figures on paper

Early on in the Sixties I found a suitable technique and style to freely express my youthfull emotions. A world full of sex, violence, and also political engagement. Oilpaint on paper in standard format 100x75 cm had the advantages of low cost and easy storage. The technique bypasses a number of academic rules for stability of the artwork, but it was wonderfully direct medium for early experiments. I made lots of them and threw most of them in the waste bucket, of the ones saved, some are exciting (if only by chance).
