More than 15% of the population receive some sort of public assistance. Crime rates are among the nation's highest.

No single canvas in his group of paintings can make the viewer nervous before its cold stare. Each of his paintings makes sense as part of the evolution of his art and appears less bewildering than when it is displayed with the work of other contemporary artists...
