I think his paintings are amazing really. Jean Paul Riopelle , so underrated, who use to live with Joan Mitchell was great even though Joan use to throw plates at his head. But then again Lee Krasner threw plates at Jackson and Elaine at Bill - man those were the days when drunks ruled the painting world!!

I still think he's one of the most underrated Ab-Exers out there. He started young, worked hard, and painted a long time. What more could any artist ask for? (And he was good.)

I remember seeing a show of his paintings paired with Wols. Owls really knocked him out, despite the difference in size.

I don't think he holds his own against Gorky and De Kooning. Lacks power IMO.

Seminal maybe, but I think his paintings are dated, a bit like the school of Paris of the fifties.
