David Novros...almost, all your questions answered.

I've been quite intrigued by David Novros these last few days. Not to say that I haven't been a fan of his paintings for years now. But last night I did some serious searching for interviews of him online and here's all the nuggets of interviews and info on the elusive painter that you might wanna know about. There is even a great video of him at the Getty Center in LA speaking about the conservation of two of his paintings that were at MOMA and the Menil Collection.

Here's a video on his new show at Paula Cooper Gallery in NYC from James Kalm.

This is not really an interview, but it's still a great read with Novros in it.

You'll find this particular video I speak of in the Session Three section.

Here's a very interesting letter Novros wrote to Paula Cooper, you will understand more about him through this reading.

Have a great week. Jeffrey
