I sure as hell don't know art, but Colville is quite well known and popular here in Canada. Outside of this country, I have no idea how recognized or well known he is. I think that my all-time fave of his is Horse and Train, which ended up (some 25 years after it was painted) being the cover art for one of Bruce Cockburn's early albums, Night Vision: http://tinyurl.com/c5cof I'd say that one pushes boundaries of some sort! <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
