Definition of larry rivers in English English dictionary

orig. Yitzroch Loiza Grossberg born Aug. 17, 1923, New York, N.Y., U.S. died Aug. 14, 2002, Southampton, N.Y. U.S. painter associated with Abstract Expressionism and Pop art. He studied at the Juilliard School in New York City and was a professional jazz saxophonist before turning to painting and studying with Hans Hofmann. His early works are characterized by frequent use of complex, fragmentary, and multiple views; perhaps the best-known is the harshly realistic Double Portrait of Berdie (1955). From the 1960s he introduced commercial images into his work, as well as elements of collage, construction, and sculpture; an elaborate example of his mixed-media works is The History of the Russian Revolution (1965)
