	His recent work, which is now so far advanced and has become so clear, is no longer reminiscent, to my mind, of simple nebulae, but of cosmic explosions like those that formed the novae, or, still more, like the cataclysmic dispersal of matter through out the universe which occurred with the initial Big Bang. The only difference is that here it is not the heavens which are inundated with successive waves of different types of galaxies and stars, but the surface of a picture, with its variety of colous and the internal struggle that takes place between them. Yet this struggle, like the heavenly phenomena, is, for all its dynamism, governed by a primeval equilibrium. For without balance no real work can exist.   George Mourelos
