John Logan Harter (1940-2008) --
1996
painter
I don't usually title my work,
but this one would have to be "Portrait of an Artist, Framed".
John is very prolific, and usually has 6 to 10 canvases on the wall in his studio at one time,
working on all of them, all of them an expression of a specific idea,
a series of paintings executed all at once.
When he finishes the 'series' -- about a month's time --
he moves on to another idea.
His goal is to never repeat himself.
So far as I can tell, he hasn't.
