| Signage: | Abrams was an enigma, not often sharing his thoughts publicly. His abstract art of delicate and controlled details, placed in juxtaposition with unrestrained brush strokes, uses a technique suggestive of impressionist influence. The work remains open to interpretation. He said: “Talking about art is like dancing about architecture.” |
