His repertoire of 147 works covers a breathtaking range of topics, but recurring themes include the natural world and man’s place within it, love and sexuality in all gender combinations, and iconic moments in American history. His poignant looks at soldiers, those who send them into battle and those they leave behind prompted the New York Times to hail him as “among the
