 (227)Vernon Fisher American, born 1943 Tutor To A Lunatic, 1996 Oil on blackboard slating on wood, porcelain Purchase with funds from Alfred Austell Thornton in memory of Leila Austell Thornton and Albert Edward Thornton, Sr., and Sarah Miller Venable and William Hoyt Venable, and gift of the artist and Charles Cowles Gallery, 1996.23 a-b Vernon Fisher plays havoc with the relationship between images and language.
