Harry turned 95 in August, had a new show coming up in Santa Fe, was involved in his documentary with the famous Bagel Boys and was working on new paintings just last week. He was visiting with our artist friend Gugger Petter, and she reported “…he was so well and fine last week, enjoying friends and making art until his last day.”
He was a true artist, gentleman, hilarious story teller, and kindred spirit. I remember a particularly wonderful visit with Anne to his Woodside studio, which was chock full of whimsical sculptures, gorgeous drawings and a zillion paintings. He was one of FOG's favorite artists, and we will always be grateful for our time with him. -Peter
