Depending on who you listen to, either that guy knows a lot or he's a groupie
(stuart rhodes is really the only figurehead anymore)

But they started distancing themselves immediately from metalbro schaffer after he was arrested. Hard to tell if that's fear or genuine. He definitely seemed like militia fanboi just wanting attention last year. But then again so do actual militia dorks.

I see those stickers and hats everywhere in NV....

this 6' x 9' painting, which was done the year of the selma marches, is unfortunately still far too relevant.
it is by far not the most expensive painting i've ever bought for the museum, but certainly one of the most important.

That's not early john biggers by any chance is it?
no, although he is from around here and we have this amazing drawing by him from the 1940s on long term loan:

i did a small show of his work a few years back too.
the selma painting is by a young (white) artist, barbara pennington, from mississippi who had gone to ny in the early 1960s to study abstraction but was so outraged by the events in her home state that she did a few figurative works in reaction.

That seemed kind of a common style in the 60s (biggers too) so just figured I'd ask. I was fucking blown away by his later stuff in person I got to see in Houston in the 90s at a show, just traveling through town. I got all excited for a sec.

Some of his bigger (heh) later paintings were just.....no other word but 'trippy'.

Some of his paintings I saw in houston had more square footage than any house I've lived in :rofl:

How big is that drawing? His later paintings in houston had more square footage than any house I've lived in :rofl:
the drawing is pretty big maybe 36 x 30...he spent a lot of his career in houston, and did many murals in the area, before coming back to nc. his later things are incredibly dense with symbolism. we have three other pretty amazing paintings on loan right now from a texas private collector and are talking with the amon carter in fort worth about collaborating on a big show. he was a pretty amazing person and artist.
