Larry RiversFaith Ringgold and Larry Rivers. Their books are right next to each other on the MECA library shelf. I am interested in their mix of paint and fiber, painting and sculpture. That top image absolutely slays me...

Both artists are so very cool... but I love Faith. I saw a retrospective of her work here in Spokane at the Jundt art museum at Gonzaga U. Very inspiring and interesting use of media.
Don't know which Rivers book you have. I have one called "Drawings and Digressions" that is great. It has a lot of River's drawings, along with his running monologue on virtually everything under the sun. Rivers was very talkative, loved to gossip about the art world and was often shockingly frank. Thanks for featuring these two intriguing artists.
