...salty inlets of Long Island. This span of time was for him, in the jargon of art history, a "period." His manner of painting changed, becoming looser, splashier, more atmospheric than it had ever been before. The drawing loosened too, and the place supplied him with a different subject matter-a landscape of dunes and water reflections, green groves and pink bodies half eroded by light, full of softness and coarse sexual ebullience.
