Dr. Larry Len Peterson: Art Historian and Author - Epi. 136, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Dr. Larry Peterson joined me for a podcast in November. He's a
fascinating, interesting man and you know every once in a while
you meet somebody and you say to yourself "this guy's done a lot
more than I have" and in this case he really has. 

Dr. Peterson is a dermatologist that published numerous medical
research papers before pivoting at the age of 56 to focus on his
writing ability in the world of art. He's written books on the
artist Phillip Goodwin,  the photographer L. A. Huffman, he
wrote a major book 700-page opus called "American Trinity", 
another on John Fery, and two books on Charlie Russell, ane one
on John Clark, a person I didn't know about until I started doing
research on Dr. Peterson for this podcast and was an interesting
western woodcarver, Dr. Peterson has a sense of what the West is
and what his role is in the West.

I highly recommend listening to the entire podcast. It was fun
for me and sometimes when you get somebody you really find
interesting and unique you just don't want it to end. You just
keep going more granular wanting one more tib bit of information.
I understand that people might feel a little exhausted after
almost two hours of two former medical professionals talking
about Western art, but if you like art history, if you like to
hear how somebody is able to be a very accomplished individual -
not only in their own field - but in another disparate area, then
this is the individual that you will want to listen to.
