Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a collaboration with fellow artist, Roger Reichmann from the C.A.T. Work Art Gallery in Bay City, MI. I wrote free prose poetry I call Altered Free Verse inspired by the assemblages of Roger Reichmann. Roger was a visual merchandiser for Jacobson's and Macy's . He created the window displays for them. He assembled the visual experience to provoke the viewer into purchasing the clothing displayed . Now he creates "windows" with his assemblages . At first, I thought that the assemblage is NOT ART ! He does NOT CREATE THEM ! They are just arrangements of pre-made objects but I realized that the arrangement of objects is an ART FORM ! Just;like the painter chooses which colors, values and marks are arranged in a particular mode. In essence the ARTST IS ASSEMBLING THE PAINTING ! Thanks for looking, Patrick B. Humphreys, #patcatartmfa.
