Selected Citations and Comments

The first painting I did in America was a large head of Ursula Andress, taken from a still preview of Dr No. It was an automatic follow-on from the paintings with which I had been involved before I left England, and it was ill-considered in scale and composition but served to break the ice. I later destroyed it.
