John Wesley (b. 1928)

“My father was like Bumstead. He was thin like Bumstead, and he wore a tie to work and when he came home from work, he tipped his hat to the neighbors” – J. Wesley, quoted in Michael Kimmelman, “ART REVIEW: Comforting, Funny Outlandishness That Sticks to Its Own Logic John Wesley, for 40 years, has constructed obsessive patterns,” New York Times, December 1, 2000, p. E33).
