Experimental Art
Raw Art
Experimental art created during college days, influenced by the art
of Jean Dubuffet, also Francis Bacon, Oskar Kokoshka, Alberto
Giacometti, et al. Jean Dubuffett (1901-1985) coined the phrase
Art Brut or "raw art" to describe his work at the time, (the 1940's).
He studied the art of psychiatric patients, children and other "naive"
or self-taught artists, and although seemingly comical and satirical,
Dubuffet's paintings harbor a mesmerizing quality. Also, English
critic Roger Cardinal used the phrase "Outsider Art" to describe
these types of non-conventional works- "outside the boundaries
of conventional culture".* [sic]

Mt. Olympus
Sketchbook drawings, done back in the Jurasic, inspired by photographs taken
by my brother and his two climbing partners on a winter ascent of the north face
of Mt. Olympus outside Salt Lake City--- a huge hunk of rotten rock, one would
be hard pressed to climb in the summer let alone in the winter. I have however,
always been proud of him for doing it.
