He took a workingman's approach to creativity and was rewarded with a constant fluency. I think he has a pretty strong cult following for an artist who's been dead for nearly 40 years.bartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974549766495801347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380631593644516380.post-25213093588323891882011-05-19T11:29:46.438-07:002011-05-19T11:29:46.438-07:00Thank you for writing about Patchen.

I was first introduced to his work after seeing one of his books just tossed on top of a table at a bookstore that was going out of business. The owner said that he was a bit hesitant to sell it as Patchen was his favorite artist but as long as I gave it a good home, he'd be okay with it. Not only did I give it a good home, but I went out and bought every Patchen book that I could get my hands on.Kelly Kilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002300626700548709noreply@blogger.com
