Art, propaganda and pornography presented by the artist sometimes known as Arte Barrato (even misspelled as it is here,) some of it his own work and most of it stuff he appreciates and chooses to elucidate and honor.
The little Paintings presented here for the First Time, Twenty Eight Years after their making, were mostly painted in France in Youth Hostel Kitchens from Memory in the Evening following Days of walking. The Places depicted are: Paris, Montreuil sur Mer, Amiens, Rouen, Vienne sur Rhône, Lyon, Marseille, Tarascon sur Rhône, Nimes, Dijon, Luxembourg, and Dover.
The short essays and the images I post to this blog tend to reflect my present interests and work. Occasionally I will present my own work in drawing or painting, but more often what one finds here are the sources for that work.
