Napoleon Entering Coney Island — State 1

1962, etching, 2½ x 3½ in. 

“Here is Napoleon Entering Coney Island. He is on his horse separate from the crowd, and he and the crowd both seem to be looking each other over. I had loved going to the Coney Island beach and being one of a crowd on a hot summer day. But I also felt apart, somewhat separate and superior to the rest of humanity. I now see I was related in these feelings to everyone else on that beach.” —CK, "Artists Talk on Art," School of Visual Arts, 2005
