In 1960, he introduced his cartoonlike compositions drawn from comic books and executed on a huge scale. He exploited the banal content with wry humor, focusing on the frequently absurd heroics of the genre. In the mid-1960's he turned to the history of art for inspiration, and investigated the various styles of twentieth-century masters.
"We spend our whole lives in unconscious exercise of the art of expressing our thoughts with the help of words."
