Larry Rivers

 
Just recently been getting back into painting. Thought it was about time to start posting up a little bit of art as well as music to this blog. 

I was introduced to Larry Rivers at high school, where he was extremely influential in my art. Larry Rivers is somewhere in between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art and regarded as one of the founders of Pop Art.

Larry Rivers, was, not only an exceptional artist but also an accomplished jazz musician (among many other things). The fact that he was a saxophone player and was friends with Miles Davis makes him even cooler (if that's even possible) in this jazz cat's eyes.
