b. 1948 - d. 2010

Larry John Palsson (American, 1948-2010). Larry John Palsson spent his life in Seattle. Palsson was thought to be autistic, and was oftentimes described as a recluse. Although Palsson dreamed of becoming an engineer, he channeled his creativity toward his art - creating hundreds of paintings, many painted on ordinary household materials such as cereal boxes, frozen food cartons, and grocery store paper bags. According to the J Compton Gallery, "The paintings are examples of the artist?s resourcefulness, innate sense of color and conceptual dexterity with geometric forms."
