Norman, foremost, spent his life trumpeting his version of bohemianism and raging against the incipient creep of “wowserism’. Sadly, today it seems the wowsers have won.

His models, gamine, supple, sinuous, sensual and exuding […]

The purpose, apart from being engaging, enlivening and thoroughly entertaining, is to go beyond looking at art, and discover the “feeling” behind it. This exploration is to use Los Angeles as the starting point for delving deep into contemporary American culture through the lense of contemporary, and established art. We can mix the Duchamps, the Goyas and the […]
