Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Strange study: Tony Scherman poses with his pigment and melted wax painting; Wealth of Nations. The work features a strange; cripped figure walking on all fours. Half man or half boy; his long spindly limbs seem too filmsy to support his body; says art critic Christopher Hume.
