"a whole life" of battles for the realist attitude, for a public art, for assumed convictions, for a cultural "politics" of confrontation and not exclusion... and admiration for Géricault, Caravaggio, Siqueiros... and all the others... the love of painting / painting... and of a meaning which is that for which we have fought since our youth... with friendship to you both.
