What a great artist and wonderful entry...
I have always loved his paintings (esp. the earlier ones) and I would love to see this show. (I am a huge fan of Gober as well.)
i'd never heard of him until your post. cool stuff- thanks for the learnin'!
Love his work! I am coming back in the morning with my coffee to watch the video - thank you!
I covet "Insect Chorus." Seriously covet.
incredible, allegorical really, a skewed version of Blake perhaps. Beautiful to see them airing.
The Insect Chorus is my favorite.
Thank you so much, again - just watched the video for a second time. Not as good as seeing the show, but a great treat, nevertheless. You have inspired me to do some posts on some of my favorite Texas artists from the same time period.
Enchanting! And yes, most definitely, allegorical. Thank you.
Gorgeous work! So cool.
(Love your blog by the way.)
I wasn't aware of this painter so thank you for that.
The film is superb: a great artist and a great curator too.
