This Casein Painting Took Form From Material And Impressions Adhered During A U.S.. Air Force Sponsored Trip To Japan In Summer Of 1961. While The Formation Of Delta Dagger Jet Fighters May Seem To Be In Strange Contrast To The Flight Of Traditional Japanese White Cranes Past The Ancient Kyoto Shrines Of Kiyomizudera And Kivimizu, To Me, It Symbolicly Illustrates That It Is The Protection Of The U.S.. Air Force That Has Allowed Japan The Free Choice To Pursue Its Course Of Progress Somewhere Between Tradition And The Future.
