I am the disciple mentioned in the title, and please let me introduce myself.
Thirty years ago, I met Ed Loper quite by accident when I went to the Delaware Art Museum to sign up for a painting class. His was the only class left with available space.
That chance encounter changed my life.
I have known Ed for more than thirty years, and my book tells the story of how he changed my life and the lives of 1,000s of his students, how he invented a new way of seeing, and how he became an artist despite all the odds against him.
This is more than a story of one artist's career: it is a story of determination and courage and curiosity, and how that combination of traits allowed an African American man from the East Side of Wilmington, Delaware, who grew up in the 1920s, to confront racism and segregation and succeed in the art world. Ed's story includes meetings with N.C. Wyeth, Horace Pippin, Albert Barnes, and Max Weber. His story includes classes at the Barnes Foundation, a retrospective at the Delaware Art Museum, and the love and admiration of countless students.
My book will show you how learning to see can transform lives, my own included.
Ed Loper has been called Wilmington, Delaware's, "Hidden Treasure." I hope my book reveals this treasure to the world.
