Description:

"For by all means this artist's expression in paint is irradiated with strongly personal traits. Yet it is as happily free from evidence of a defiant, febrile, surface-grounded effort just to be 'different.' Carter has said: 'I paint as I please, and always shall.' I suppose it could be argued that all artists, save those committed to follow out the strict specifications of a patron, might feel justified in saying as much. Yet many artists are not in reality as unfettered as all that. In Carter's case, at any rate, this terse pronouncement amounts to a great deal more than words." -Edward Alden Jewell (Art Critic of The New York Times), American Artist, November 1946
