George Tooker was born Brooklyn,
New York in 1920.
He lives and works in Vermont.
As well known as Tooker is
it is suprising how little of his work is on the net.
The imagesI am including here are mainly his lesser known, seemingly
more personal work.
The influence of his work on mine is probably obvious.
