BEARDED CHESS PLAYER (New Yorker 1968)
From the first Hollander went his own way.  Not only in his style, which was uniquely his own, but in his refusal to become involved in the art world.  He chose no master, watched no one paint, avoided exhibitions and dealers.  He simply painted  -  and exhibited everything that he did.  He was not satisfied with his work  -  nor is he today but he showed it anyway.  The bad along with the good.  And little by little he began to be discovered, and to discover himself.  [Read Full Story]

EASIER TO LIVE WITH THAN HE (Barbara Hollander) 
"His paintings are a lot easier to live with then he is."  One of the first painters to turn to acrylics he found this medium to suit his rapidly enthusiastic style.  During more than 35 years his mastery had developed but he has never strayed for from his chosen subjects.  No story teller, he's a pure emotionalist.  A superb colorist, he prefers to paint in black and white.  Enormously prolific, he exhibits world wide and has more canvases in ownership than any other living artist.  From his early days painting in New York he has avoided the art world per se, refusing all connections with trends or schools.  Never in fashion his works have not gone out of fashion.
