Remembering Robert Deyber

“I was doing fine on my own, selling from my own website privately, and right at the same time Tom Petty contacted me and told me he’d been secretly collecting my work, and wanted me to design an album cover for him. He and his wife have 6 paintings or so.”Robert Deyber never became a household name in the manner of Dalí or Warhol, but within contemporary gallery circles he developed an exceptionally loyal following who appreciated that his paintings were technically accomplished, immediately understandable, and humorous without being superficial. Thousands of private collectors acquired his paintings and limited editions, including other notable figures from the entertainment industry.Links and sources from this episodeIn the Studio : https://youtu.be/gnvkPiQ7fYY Bellevue Reporter interview : https://www.bellevuereporter.com/2009/02/08/artist-robert-deyber-plays-on-words/ Unlocking Connecticut interview : https://unlockingconnecticut.com/2016/09/artist-robert-deyber/ Artsy interview : https://www.artsy.net/article/martin-lawrence-galleries-robert-deyber Profile on the Martin Lawrence Galleries website : https://martinlawrence.com/collections/robert-deyber Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Follow: https://linktr.ee/tompettyprojectListen: https://pod.link/1580769475All music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.
