Roger Clay Palmer

This monograph collects 60 recent paintings by New York- and Florida-based artist Roger Clay Palmer (born 1947), who has provided idiosyncratic insight and biting wisdom on contemporary American life for more than 50 years. Inspired by the Southern oral tradition of his youth, his experiences in the army as a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War and Japanese haiga and Zenga, Palmer blends word and image to a darkly humorous, sometimes difficult, effect.
