"For Frank Wright, Montrose Park has become a place that perfectly mirrors his feelings, a place separate from the noise and clashing confusions of urban life in the 1970s. In a sense, Montrose has become Wright's backyard, the equivalent outdoors of the cloistered, quiet scenes of family life that he also celebrates in paint.""Paintings Out of Love for a Park"
