I still wonder why he never applied his wc abilities to his caricatures except for a colored-after ink drawing in a Time magazine's cover of Carter's mean brother. Do you know any example of pure watercolored caricatures by him?

I think it is wonderful that such a talented man can master two different forms.

Zornes is the subject of an article by Gordon McClelland and Austin McClelland, who have written a good deal about the California watercolor school, in the February 2008 issue of American Art Review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-24745871665292752742008-01-18T09:21:00.000-05:002008-01-18T09:21:00.000-05:00Thanks first for showing us these Levine pics, had...Thanks first for showing us these Levine pics, had never heard of him before.

I followed up on your post by pointing to sources that discuss evidence that the exaggerations of facial caricatures are similar to how we actually store memories of faces.
