I was helping my old thesis advisor clean out some of his studio today. It mainly consisted of throwing away boxes of old baby clothes (his son is now 27) and sorting through paperwork. It reminded me of what an amazing person and artist he is…
The painting on the left is a portrait of him done by one of his more recent students. The painting on the right is his most recent work.
This is my favorite piece by him, done many years ago I suspect. Unfortunately the stretchers have started to warp.
“If you see the Buddha, hit him with a stick” he would often tell in class.

Please let George know that I would enjoy reconnecting with him. We were classmates at Cooper Union and at Yale.
Many Thanks,
Carole Kofod Bonicelli

Dear Carole:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but my daughter (who is one of George’s students at Purchase) just informed me that George passed away this morning. No news yet on where or when services will be.
