I met Tal in the mid 1970's. He stayed with my wife and I one weekend in Princeton NJ where he was visiting to present a kite workshop for children via the Princeton Arts Council. His enthusiasm and patience were quite remarkable.Some wonderful creations were made. As a young MFA I was impressed that a real NY artist was interested in my work and was quite encouraging.

Tal was my sculpture professor at SUNY Purchase in the 1970's. He was knowledgeable, upbeat, and very encouraging to aspiring artists, something which I keenly appreciated at that time. A good soul, he melded an Asian sensibility with Western considerations or Art to make something that both personal and unique. Fly that kite, Tal!
