	Tooker's Builders
		Tooker also emphasizes the woman’s central relation to the piece because the men look directly at her and face toward her, three from the front and one from the back.
		Tooker obscures the some detail to let the reader notice the similarities between the figures (Garver 10) while he expresses the importance of the plants by their delicateness and detail.
		Tooker puts the small sprouts in the foreground to represent a minority that seeks attention, like some sprout tips overlapping a worker’s shoe to symbolically initiate dispute against man. The building’s invasion upon the environment initially destroys plant life, but nature returns to fight.

		In his lithographs, Tooker used a direct approach to the imagery, forming strong volumes and contrasts between light and dark, carving the image from the picture plane.
		Tooker's earlier oils, "Lovers I" and "Lovers II" were influenced by a poem by W. Auden, and represent lovers and landscape appearing to flow together in unity.
		Tooker's remarkable convergence of the lovers and landscape is a vision of love and hope.

		Having completed his English degree at Harvard, Tooker went to New York in 1943 to study at the Art Students League, where he worked for two years with Reginald Marsh.
		Like his friends Jared French and Paul Cadmus, Tooker paints in egg tempera and borrows compositional arrangements from the Renaissance Italians, but his thematic ties are with the existential ideas of Jean-Paul Sartre and Samuel Beckett.
		Many of Tooker's paintings contain a strong element of implicit social comment, and he creates silent theaters in which reality is transformed into deadeningly repetitive drama.

	George Tooker : Master Painter Biography
		George Tooker (b.1920) was born and raised until age seven in Brooklyn, New York and then in Belleport, Long Island in genteel upper class surroundings, he became a figure painter whose work reflects both his privileged circumstances and understanding of those less comfortable.
		His subjects, often of mixed sexual and racial features, are often obscured by heavy clothing and appear sagging and shapeless, trapped within their own dull worlds.
		Tooker subsequently adopted a method of using egg yolk thickened slightly with water and then adding powdered pigment, a medium that was quick drying, tedious to apply, and hard to change once applied.

	Art in America: George Tooker at D.C. Moore - New York, New York - Reviews of Exhibitions - Brief Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In the '50s, George Tooker, who is nearly a generation younger than his esthetic allies, Paul Cadmus and Jared French, was the most widely recognized of the three, who were often designated Magic Realists.
		Tooker continually reworks favorite themes, searching for greater clarity or slanting meaning in new directions; several paintings in the show were reinterpretations of familiar images.
		The "magic" of Tooker's realism comes, of course, from his ability to pack the maximum amount of meaning into the slightest image.

		You wouldn't know that Joseph Stella was far more the experimentalist, with his fragmented paintings of the Brooklyn Bridge, than George Tooker, who favored haunting symbolic scenes about daily life.
		Stella's self-image is straightforward, his intense gaze almost daring a viewer to keep staring back at him.
		Tooker's likeness of himself is meticulous and like his other paintings, a touch mysterious.
