Over Brooklyn

1976-77, color lithograph, 23 x 21 in.

“I had been studying couples since I was a child—how they were together and with other people, [and] did a series of prints called ‘Closeness and Clash in Couples and Domestic Life,’ for a CAPS Grant….In Aesthetic Realism lessons about our marriage, Mr. Siegel said to my wife Dorothy and myself,

Love should be like art. The way to do this is to put together opposites—individuality and relation, intimacy and width, separation and junction, and of course, sameness and difference.”
