Leonard Baskin
Leonard Baskin August 15, 1922 - June 3, 2000
considered by many authorities to have been America's most important artist. Many artists consider Le
onard to have been a major influence on their development .
Leonard possesed a massive intellect that ranged through art, litature, languages, music, etc. He possesed a sh
arp wit and a sharper tongue that could puncture pretension and phoniness any time he met it.
Baskin work in both three and two dimensions can be found in nearly every museum in the wo
rld.
Despite Leonard's talent and fame it is still possible to posess his work at figures far below th
eir artistic value.
