Rene Ricard Paintings

René Ricard was a poet, art critic and painter represented by the Vito Schnabel Gallery in NYC. He starred in Warhol films and his articles for ArtForum magazine helped launch the careers of Basquiat, Keith Haring, Julian Schnabel and Francesco Clemente.

Sadly, he just passed away on February 1, 2014 from cancer and I wanted to share his poems in the form of paintings.
