Book Review: Hi! My Name is Chicken

I always jump at any opportunity to further my knowledge about an artist in my collection, especially a living artist that I hold in very high regard. Emigdio Vasquez is one such artist, and I was thrilled to hear from his ex-wife who had recently completed an autobiographical book that had been in the works for 11 years and included a candid look of their married lives together.

M. Brown – Untitled

An energetic and emotional portrayal of a young man painfully struggling from the mental anguish of a love relationship gone bad, loss of a family member, sibling abuse, etc. The reasons are as varying as they are timeless.

A contemplative Gandharan Buddha head mounted on wood by none other than actor, art collector Vincent Price in the 1950’s. This example shows the Buddhavista in frontal pose with lips and area under his cap still showing signs of red pigment.

Maxime LaLanne – Nogente

This delicate and sensitive rendering of the small French town of Nogent-sur-Marne was executed by Lalanne just three years before his death in that ancient commune situated in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France.
