In his thematic, he was well known for his interpretations of horses. Remarkable were some of his woodcuts such as the series "White Rider" and the enormous "Moonscape" (on discarded paper) unfortunately lost.

His work can be found in the Museum of Modern Art (N.Y.); Finch College Museum (N.Y.); Museum of Fine Arts (Fort Lauderdale); Chase Manhattan Fine Arts Center; University of Massachusetts Amherst; Ponce Art Museum; and in many other public and private art collections.
