Beach Scene, 1963.

Don Reich was the most alive, free and independent person I have ever known. Also the most creative, imaginative and productive.
He was responsive to all natural phenomena. Rainbows, sunsets and sundogs, bald eagles, bugs and birds, volcanoes, and he could make things grow. Heart-shaped rocks. Lightening strikes in France. Pompeii. He delighted in reality and defended it in his art, he defended it against realism..
Free, fearless and surprisingly forgiving. He wrote, “Life’s purpose: the courage to be happy, the guts to forgive.”
