Artist: Willie Torbert Title: Don't Leave the Comb at HomeMedium: GicleeSignature: Signed by artistEdition: Out of 47Date: 2007Full size: 21 3/8 x 13 3/4 inches Image size: 19 x 11 1/2 inchesBiography * * Mr. Torbert works in a variety of media, including oil, ink, and collage to produce singular and highly stylized representations of African American life. Credible scenes of street life and images of jazz and blues musicians, and heroic African queens and warriors often populate his work. In addition, he graciously acknowledges the almost unavoidable influence of other major black artists. Indeed, Mr. Torbert has previously stated that "it changed my life" when he saw Romare Bearden's images of Harlem in an exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum many years ago. Gallery owner and actorVictoria Platt Tilford has noted that "Willie Torbert is an artist we have represented; he shows the pimp, thug 70s scene, our scene, which was you know, it was a wonderful culture, that was a wonderful time, it was rich." * * Received from: http://x2thel.com/your-life/abundant-living/willie-torbert/ *
