“David Campbell Painted ‘Lewis Bluff’ in 1958, and Roy Lichtenstein Did Not” 2019. Acrylic on paper, 19 x 23” If he showed this painting alongside Roy’s piece in the faculty exhibition that year, he would have outclassed his struggling colleague. Roy was confusing himself and others by abandoning his “feel” while making a leap from figurative to abstract impressionism. We only know this because Roy went Evel Knievel a couple years later to land somewhere completely new. New wins in New York when you have the support of a millionaire who knows many millionaires who have nothing better to do than buy art for the price of a house. So Roy got paid a fortune copying comics, and David got close to zilcho making beautiful paintings. No one said life is fair. Especially not Leo Castelli yesterday nor Larry Gagosian today. David Campbell has a website and prints available. Give his effort a try! Lord knows, we could use something new for the rest of us. davidmcampbell.com #painting #art #contemporaryart #stuckism #davidmcampbell #oswego #sunyoswego #arthistory #cnyarts #lichtenstein #roylichtenstein #lichtensteinfoundation #galleries #artgallery #artmuseum #artnews #artnet #artforum https://www.instagram.com/p/BxdBCQBAjyL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=thyf4vj4vrfm
