"The young women in Sisto's paintings are simultaneously interactive and introspective. They reach out to relate and also give us a chance to look within."--Amy Vigilante
"There is a happy resonance in these paintings with Matisse, who loved to make a picture gallery out of the material picture plane "behind" a figure. And, of course, there is the resonance between the easels, brushes, postcards, and paints that surround these young women and the menacing, crepuscular studio attributes of a raging, aging Guston."--Stephen Westfall
