So interesting: "Slota's appropriation of old negatives yields an art of nostalgia—at first glance; deeper contemplation of the images makes us think of a vanishing America..." - This essay pairs so well with the most recent one here from Diana Butler Bass at The Cottage on nostalgia...
It would be interesting to read a comparison of your thoughts about Gerald Slota's work with the work of Joel-Peter Wilkin. (along with a little Hieronymus Bosch thrown in for good measure)

Thank you.
Thank you for this introduction to his art. And to Harry Smith’s “Anthology,” which I have been listening to…
Gorgeous!!!
