Catalogue Note

"As a principal of narrative painting, I stop the action within the drama at the moment before something happens. Or I stop it right after something has happened. It is the moments before or right after that are the most dramatic and most inclusive of the audience. Because the event is still open-ended, the viewers project their own feelings, memories, anxieties and desires. The viewer possesses the moment and its meaning." - Eric Fischl, 2009
