Arturo Schwarz

"In Lee Waisler, I respect both the man and the artist. In a time such as the one in which we are living—a consumer society dominated by cynicism, the recycling of past subversion or pointless running after the latest fad—he has the courage of his own convictions and is not afraid of committing himself, even politically. Lee does not yield to market trends or fashions. Remaining faithful to his inner model, he gives us a work of rough elegance, heart–rending purity, and balanced harmony."

December 1987, Milan, Italy
