Devoid of clever ideas, lacking both purpose and patience, innocent of the tactical conditions for conventional for success, he has taken to wandering the streets of Los Angeles with a folding stool, a miniature sketchbook and a pocketful of pencils and erasures.
He's been preparing for this moment his entire career. While he knows that his best work is behind him, he also knows that his legacy is secure. His magnum opus The Body Is His Book: One-Hundred Paintings is recognized, in the words the New York critic Spark Boon as "... one of the monuments of post-modernist Romantic revisionism."
Scholars (and even Schoffman himself) have debated for years whether Boon's characterization is a favorable rendering of this complex polyptych but all seem to agree that this legendary work of art includes a lot of different colors.
