[Parker's] use of color really added something to New York painting with is sharpness, clarity and power. His color comes out of Matisse, but he extends and intensifies it. He'll take a red and play it out into a pink in a way that comes out of Matisse's 'Jazz.' The aura of color in his late work is unrelenting.

William C. Agee, historian of American Art
