It took me a while before I understood what was happening in this video clip. Bill was about as anti-war as you could get. He lived through the aftermath of one world war and was swept up as an unwilling participant in another that devastated his homeland. Bill was always afraid that we would repeat the same mistakes of our fathers and he was particularly concerned about the power of the atom bomb. In this painting he created, quite by accident, a mushroom cloud causing him to make these comments. This video probably never made it to television because of that. Fortunately, Bill shot many videos that could be televised.
Want to see more Bill? We have tons of his videos at our online store. We also have videos that never made it to television because they were too long for broadcast. Some of these videos go into much more detail than he could on his television show. Check them out at this link.
