Andy Warhol had a series of photos made of him in heavy make-up and wigs, but I perfered he had a better wig of a bigger more glamorous stature. So I gave him one; gave him a better tie too.
'Saint Bukowski', 24 x 24", acrylic, photo on wood (photo: Richard Robinson on 'South Of No North' by Charles), 1996 summer.
Actually titled 'Buk' in 1995, but retitled in 1996, the man was no saint, never pretended to be, but was a saint of the truth he observed and lived. He was a poet.
