A wooden board is coated with gesso (a painter’s medium) and sanded until a very smooth undercoat results.

Nathan Brutsky, 1963

Nathan was only 10 years old when his father, a man interested and knowledgeable in art, looked at some pictures his son had made in school and decided that Nathan was talented enough to study art.

This rich experience turned out to be very vital when, years later, Nathan began to create complex compositions, with multiple elements.
