"Everything in the canvas is fighting," he points out of Poor Room, etc. "Some objects are falling, others are rising, others are spiraling in a kind of controlled chaos. I compose in motion. I wish to create tension and conflict." Nor, after the first shock has passed, are his models bereft of their own kind of grandeur. Decay, once faced, gradually loses its morbid horror.
