Roy De Forest

Sad to read that the painter Roy De Forest died. He loved dogs. Always had at least two. Often used them as subjects in his painting.

Mr. De Forest identified himself as an “obscure visual constructor of mechanical delights” and quoted a talking dog, named Samuel Johnson, who said, “What is current taste but old desires made palatable by present boredom.” -- from NYT
