Bob Coronato: Western Artist (Part 2) - Epi. 299, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Had a nice talk with artist Bob Coronato today, and it went on
for a long time. We went over two hours so it's a two parter for
sure. Bob's lived an interesting, unique life. He's been in
Wyoming for most of his life at this point, but he actually grew
up in New Jersey. 

In part two, we hear the story of Bob and a very special portrait
of Russell Means. Now, for those who don't know who Russell Means
is, he was a Lakota activist, writer, and actor, and he was
highly involved in the AIM protest at Wounded Knee in 1970. Well,
Bob had the privilege of painting this individual's likeness and
the story behind this painting is quite compelling (spoiler alert
- it winds up in the Smithsonian).

We handle his etchings on occasion when I get them and he's just
a super nice guy. So I hope you enjoy. Art Dealer Diaries Podcast
