Robert Bliss (1925-1981) information

Robert Bliss was a controversial painter of adolescent boys, then, later in life, “to colorful landscapes as well as psychedelic visionary paintings.” Robert was the “Artist-In-Residence and art teacher at the Deerfield Academy in Connecticut in 1951. Deerfield was then one of the most elite private boys' schools in the country.”

Robert Bliss apparently made hundreds of paintings, and I have read a claim by one collector that he owns 500 works and is writing a book (I think his name was Mark Porter, but I am not certain).
