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 epi 299 with Bob Coronato. This is part two.
