| biography:
| Painter, born in Keewane, Illinois, USA. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago (1952–6), and in 1959 moved to New York City. For several years he worked in the illustration and advertising industry before becoming a full-time painter in 1966. In the late 1960s he began painting precise copies of photographs, particularly of New York street-scenes. His meticulously detailed ‘Super-Realist’ works can easily be confused with photographs. |
