“American Sublime”

This piece is by Margie Kuhn, who is represented by the Byron Cohen Gallery.  It’s going into a book that I’m assisting with.  The book covers exceptional talent from my region in a variety of areas, not just visual art.  What’s exceptional about this piece?  It’s in watercolor, and every bit of it is painted–including the faded, worn, and curled masking tape.  I was sure blown away.

Book comes out next month, coinciding with an inauguration I’m assisting with.  No I’m not going into politics–although dealing in art sure as hell is political.  Rather I’m just doing my job: trying to give artists a leg up, both the well known and the unsung.
