Writings of Henry Miller, ‘Just a Brooklyn Boy,’ featured in art exhibit in Tarpon Springs, Florida
The Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art in Tarpon Springs, Florida is currently holding an exhibition of works by figurative expressionist painter Abraham Rattner and Brooklyn author Henry Miller, known as the “bad boy” of American literature. The exhibition will run through Aug. 23.
The exhibition is titled “Henry & Abe Finding America” and is promoted as “An exhibition celebrating the travels of two of America’s most interesting 20th-century cultural figures who, in 1940, set out to ‘rediscover’ America after years as expatriates in Paris, France.”
The show is a documentation of original artwork (“words and images”) created during Miller’s and Rattner’s artistic road trip from New York City to New Iberia, Louisiana.
