Malibu's Weisman Museum is hosting the first solo show in Los Angeles since the artist's untimely death.
"Interior with Nude Leaving," from 1997, is from a private collection. The exquisite colors invite the viewer to enjoy while trying to decipher the painting's visual puns.
Roy Lichtenstein is pictured at his easel. I was fortunate to have visited this revered Pop Artist in his Chelsea, New York City, studio in the early 1980's.
"Collage for Sower" is from the first brushstroke paintings. They are wry comments on Abstract Expressionism. The gestures seen here are a translation of Van Gogh's famous painting, marrying the two techniques through his unique style.
