Excuse a father’s pride at his son’s rave review in today’s Los Angeles Times.
It isn’t difficult to imagine a cargo cult gathering around Simon’s sculpture, which seems to have washed ashore from a world more intriguing than this one.
If you’re in the Southern California area, hustle down to the Patricia Faure Gallery before the show closes July 14.

Congratulations to Jesse.

Damn! I’m in the wrong line of work!!

Having just read Roger Kimball, I’m even more than usually skeptical about contemporary art.
But I like Jesse’s work very much, and I think the reviewer gets it just right.
