the 80s art scene

Willem Defoe

Powerhouse Books is about to release

"Scene"

Jeannette Montgomery Barron.

I did a post of Mrs. Barron's work almost a 

year and a half ago 

and was (and still am) struck by seeing 

so many of my heroes from that era captured in their youth.

Some were in their prime, some were unknowns,

some would go on to become very famous, 

some very rich, and others, 

too many,

 are dead....

So climb into the 

Mondoblogo Time Machine 

and head back to the future,

The New York City Art World

circa 1980....
