Rarely exhibited are his erotic works, such as his homoerotic Turkish Bath with Self-Portrait. His early watercolors were influenced by the Fauves and later in life he produced symbolic non-figurative "portraits" of his friends like William Carlos Williams and Georgia O'Keefe. When diabetes stranded him with his mother in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, his work began to depict his surroundings: advertising and buildings, like factories and the grain elevator in his work My Egypt,  developing a crisp, exacting style. In his most famous work, he created an abstract depiction of a fire truck based on a poem by Williams. For 10 points, name this Precisionist painter and creator of I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold.
