  • Art is such a fickle entity. There are writers who paint and those who project creativity in their medium. These oil paintings resemble Edward Hopper who lived in Nyack for some time. I adore Jack. I felt like he truly was the King of the Beats. His poetry seems a bit undervalued especially haikus. Thanks to this artist who portrays Jack as an everyman. We need more artists who bleed and are emotionally naked.
