Arnold Szporn

New York based Cytopathologist, Arnold H. Szporn has been planning retirement after 40 years of service by returning to his first love, painting. Initially influenced by MOMA's 1968 "Dada, Surrealism and Their Heritage", he has more recently begun to appreciate abstract expressionist works by Mitchell, Frankenthaler, the de Koonings and southern abstract landscape painter Brian Rutenberg. Self-taught and originally working exclusively with acrylics on canvas, Dr. Szporn has more recently been experimenting with mixed media as a vehicle to achieve originality. Retirement is not to be feared, but embraced for the opportunity it presents.
