About the Author: Larry Rivers (1924–2002) was an artist, writer, and teacher who first made a reputation for himself as a jazz saxophonist. He came to prominence for his figurative paintings, which combined highbrow and low culture; throughout his varied career his artwork consistently defied easy categorization.
