Jeffrey Collins posts thoughts from the painter Helmut Federle.

Federle situates himself in relation to the whole of art, noting that "as an artist, don’t have to invent something, I just go down the same path as everybody else, and make distinctions in my period, my time. References are warm and beautiful energies. I am part of a history and not a statement of the moment."

Collins has also put together a great Facebook page dedicated to Federle's work. Visit it for some great photos of Federle's paintings.
