1950s
Develops his own manner: black paint, trowel and knife
In the 1950s he begins to work with black paint applied to the canvas with a plasterer's trowel, scratching the drawing into it with a knife or brush to give the image form and texture. Black usually dominates his paintings, with one or more less prominent colours sometimes present.
