Robert Pincus-Witten
Robert Pincus-Witten (1935 – 2018) was an American historian and art critic. He is the author of numerous books, and his criticism has been collected into celebrated volumes.
The name Gray Foy has been nearly forgotten. An enormously gifted artist, he produced a hard-won inventory of some one hundred works, mostly drawings that fall into two approximate categories: smaller format drawings marked by an indenture to Salvador Dalí and other Surrealists dating to 1941 – 48 (but remarkable for all that), and his mature, nonpareil efforts depicting botanical subjects from the late forties through the late sixties—his best work.
