| biography:
| Painter, born in New York City, USA. He studied painting at Cooper Union, New York City, and at Skowhegan School, ME. From 1959 he began making portraits of his friends in a deliberately gauche, naive style, simplifying forms and using a limited palette. These large-scale portraits, which have a directness bordering on kitsch, have been likened to cinematic images of film idols. |
