I was sorry to read about his passing earlier this week at 83. I always loved seeing his paintings and drawings in museums and thinking how it was cool you could still meet him under the right circumstances or given the opportunity. I feel sad that that's no longer true.
I love that he was so different, controversial, and that he kept so to himself. I love that he say stuff like, "[after finishing a painting] I usually have to go to bed for a couple of days."
You can read this NYT article for more information (& look how cute he is!) or view many more images of his life's work here.
gorgeous work- so much energy. i always love work that has a lot of gestural accidents.
