Hospitals



Some of you know Tony had a bad heart. He had his first heart operation in 1979. In the eighties he was often in and out the VA hospitals. He drew what he saw and some impressions became etchings on a press DL bought together while others became silkscreens. I have seen only some of the hospitals because I only started sharing his life on a daily basis in 1991. He caught the atmosphere, the fear and sometimes the kindness of nurses or doctors. And yes finally his heart and lungs gave out, gave up.
