They know his art; they just don't know his name.<br /><br />Patrick Nagel took the 1980s by storm only to die suddenly at age 38. He gave the 1980s its look and even though more than two million American homes enjoyed his art, few people even knew his name. <br /><br />The book is titled The Artist Who Loved Women: The Incredible Life & Work of Patrick Nagel, the Most Successful & Anonymous Artist of the 1980s , (ISBN 9786926859281) and is the only biography of Nagel's personal, professional and artistic evolution.

Glad to expose more art and how it's not too scary to as many people as possible.<br /><br />Healing Room, thanks, he didn't usually paint blondes...and I suppose when I was younger I was influenced by his women and their style. As for Beta...it's so far fantastic at speed! Posting seems quicker. But when it comes to logging in and making comments at others blogs, I've lost a lot of comments the last few days. So I would say, no. Plus, I have to log in twice now. But I like it as far as the actual blogging process goes.<br /><br />Wandering Coyote, that Duran Durna album was huge wasn't it? I liked the Fururama reference, thought that was hilarious.
