His forays from his remote Long Island studio into New York frequently ended in barroom squabbles at the abstract expressionists' hangout, the old Cedar Bar. Painter Barnett Newman tried to keep him out of it. "The.y're laying for you," warned Newman. "You go in there a hero, and you come out a bum."
