Portrait of the Artist

as a Young Man Series

"In 1954 circumstances prompted me to create 15 watercolor images of James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. These works cast an abiding special influence over other paintings during the next few years and are still a very important part of my teaching."
