review: Editorial Reviews Review "He is producing the landscape of our longings. Here paradise has not been lost. A bit complex, perhaps, but nothing of the graffiti, polluted air, and aggravated driving conditions in a state whose city populations have congealed into a honking mass." ― Jim Heimann, author of Los Angeles: Portrait of a City and Dark City: The Real Los Angeles Noir “Nelson’s paintings are a kick to look at. But like the short stories by Cheever and Fitzgerald, they are not about milk and honey.” ― Lynn Cline, The New Mexican “Fables for our time, these are cynical little mysteries which leave the viewer to fill in the blanks.” ― Rick Gilbert, Art Beat Winner of the Glenn Goldman Art, Architecture & Photography Award About the Author Kenton Nelson’s paintings have been featured on several New Yorker covers and shown in galleries and museums from Los Angeles to Stuttgart to Salzburg. Collectors include Diane Keaton, Steve Martin, and the Albertina Contemporary Museum in Vienna. He has been on the faculty of the Otis Parsons Art Institute in Los Angeles and the Academy of Art in San Francisco. He lives and works in Pasadena, California.
