In the 1940's - early 1950's he worked in various places: New York, Woodstock, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Berkeley, California. At this time in his works, he was inspired by the late synthetic cubism that dominated the American art medium until abstract expressionism. But then he met with abstract landscapes of Willem de Kooning, under whose influence he developed his own style: in this era are his abstract landscapes of New Mexico (1949-50). At the same time he is interested in works of Rothko and Motherwell, as well as the Paris School.

In 1967, a new period - at this time he begins a great series of works titled "Ocean Park" (he kept it for 25 years). One can say that he returned to abstraction, but an abstraction that was now completely personal. Works in this series are made by air photography. They are characterized by a vertical format and size, they are organized geometric segments, filled with gentle, refined tones - something like architectural landscape. These works are like a bridge leading from the early abstract art to Color Field Painting, and Lyrical Abstraction.
