The “People-People” works feel so contemporary because they anticipate modern social experience:

• crowds but loneliness

• connection but fragmentation

• overstimulation

• urban emotional overload

• identity dissolving into mass culture

Many of the paintings almost resemble:

• social media feeds

• protest crowds

• commuter masses

• psychological data streams

• or collective memory fragments.

That is why the work still feels current half a century later.
