Bob Coronato: Western Artist (Part 1) - Epi. 298, 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. 

We hear the whole story of how he managed to get out of New
Jersey and wind up at the Otis Institute of Fine Art in Los
Angeles. after a bit he moves to Wyoming where he meets and works
with cowboys, and it's just domino after domino of these life
events that make Bob into the Western artist he is today.

So we had this lovely talk about his life and this first part is
all about his becoming an artist and really the early days of his
career. Part two has a lot to do with his painting of Lakota
activist Russell Means that currently hangs in the Smithsonian
National Portrait Gallery. 

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
