Duck Art
The New York Times reports a March 2 death —
"A product of Britain’s Royal Academy of Art,
Mr. Stobart moved to the United States in 1970,
when conceptual art, Op Art and minimalism
were riding high in the wake of Abstract Expressionism.
Affable, unassuming and unfailingly candid, Mr. Stobart
would have none of it. 'I’ve never bought it, and the
general public has never bought it either,' he said of
abstract art in an interview with The Boston Globe in 1986.
'That’s a lot of baloney, that stuff.' ”
