Description
"Watkins classically presents images, of nude well-hung man, in bare essentials of stage-set. The mileage to be had from this depends on stripping down to minimum of objects, space-cues, avoidance of symbol, favouring existential encounter. Nude man, abstract painter strides by, large brush erect in hand, his work on the wall behind him."
