“True” 28 in. X 22 in. oil on canvas 2012
“New York has scarcely seen figure paintings of such unrelenting solemnity and exasperation, or with so original an authority, since Francis Bacon brought his first exhibition to the city.

—Sam Hunter, Princeton University, Michael Hafftka: Dreamworks, 1984
