Works Illustrating Poems by Walt Whitman

Recently a friend mentioned Walt Whitman and how beautiful, insightful and timeless his work is even though he wrote more than a century ago. I had read Whitman, but the resonance his words carry for me now is far greater than in my youth. I decided to let his inspiration help me create a number of prints illustrating different poems. This is an ongoing project.

The Almost Gone Series

For a number of years I have been fascinated by the beauty of what is not there, what is missing, or what has been alterd or destroyed. Imagine yourself in a museum. The work you have come to see is gone, the frame empty, and in its place is a small note card saying, "Object on loan to the Museo Conceptual de Madrid." I sense beauty and humor hides in that void.

A number of you quite correctly pointed out that I did not actually have a show at the J. Paul Getty Center , June 29-September 25. I even went so far as to contact the curator there, a Mr. John A. Giurini, Assistant Director, Public Affairs, to ask him about this. His pleasant reply was, he had no knowledge of any such exhibition. Here is the deal...When you are a pretty good artist and 62 years of age and the Getty or Whitney or MOMA have never shown any interest in your work, the chances of getting a shows there in your lifetime are hovering close to 0 (zero). That should not stop you from pretending that you had a show(s) there!
