Legend has it that long ago, Eric Fischl challenged Apollo to a music contest, and won. Apollo was so mad that he took out all his rage on the next challenger, Marsyas.
I first met Eric many years ago when he was teaching at NSCAD in Halifax Nova Scotia and I was a very naive young feminist art student. We had a misunderstanding and well not wanting to go into details, we've both changed and I am so amazed at the person and artist he has become. Catherine Meyers
One of my favorite quotes from Eric goes something like "saying the word nude sounds a lot sexier than saying the figure."
ReplyDeleteEric is a most generous lecturer at the Academy and always inspires the students. The sexy unlit cigar is just icing on the cake!
