Richard Newman, Kunsthaus (Art House), 1985, acrylic, polychromed wood

“The real poet studies the world as it is: lovely, terrible, sensible, grotesque; and would ask for no other in its place. Humor is the final sign and seal of seriousness for it is a proof that reality is held in honor and in love.” -- Mark van Doren

Kunsthaus (Art House), 1985, acrylic, polychromed wood.

“My artistic activity represents the manner in which I seek psychic equilibrium. It serves my need to find a magic vessel, a sense of place, where I can dispose of fears and misgivings as well as store moments of joy and astonishment.” --Richard Newman
