“The interesting thing was that his work cut across all ethnicities even though the subject matter was African-American. If you loved music and looked at the jazz painting, you could hear music. If you saw the church lady, you would hear the sermon. If you were a kid who ever looked in a window lusting after a bicycle, you’d feel that in his kid paintings. No other artist I’ve represented in 33 years was more able to touch human beings’ hearts than he did.”

“Andrew Turner was what I would call a lyrical artist who created his own genre of painting, instantly recognizable, no matter what his subject was. I say, lyrical because somehow or other, his paintings seemed always to be a positive aspect of whatever scene of everyday life he was depicting. Once in a while, there might appear a touch of wistfulness, but, never ugly, mean or violent.”
