Traveling extensively as a youth with his family throughout the orient, South America and the entire North American continent , he absorbed all the ethnic colors and forms to wich his parents exposed him. His father , through his traveling military life style , and his mother , a noted portrait artist , sensitized him to all the beauties the family encountered. His early and most formative training came from his mother. At her early death , his life changed radically.
