...most angry young men, shoots his outrage off in all directions. His hero is the persecuted individual, his villain the persecuting mass; he senses "instances of inhumanity all around me." A newspaper story, a political campaign, a photograph in a book-anything may trigger a painting. Says Strombotne: "I react violently to practically everything...
