After
1982 Sorenson's paintings contained more abstract and anxious
figures. Grouping such as that found in The Board Room
incorporated in their frenetic composition the emotional intensity
and fierce competition that not only characterizes corporate
structure, but also mirrors the larger cultural climate of
late Capitalism. The Operation, 1983, testified powerfully
to the artist's intense personal anxiety regarding his illness.
