Excuse a father’s pride at his son’s rave review in today’s Los Angeles Times.
It isn’t difficult to imagine a cargo cult gathering around Simon’s sculpture, which seems to have washed ashore from a world more intriguing than this one.
If you’re in the Southern California area, hustle down to the Patricia Faure Gallery before the show closes July 14.

How totally cool, Roger!
Congratulations to Jesse.
By all means–pass my congrats along, too. Nothing like a good review in a big time paper. I mean, we might not like the editorial page so much, but–it’s still the LATimes!
So let me get this straight. The kid strolls the beach, picks up broken surfboards, cuts them into pieces, sticks them back together, and SELLS them??
Damn! I’m in the wrong line of work!!
Yuk yuk–not if you’re a professional Philistine, Bob!
Roger,
Having just read Roger Kimball, I’m even more than usually skeptical about contemporary art.
But I like Jesse’s work very much, and I think the reviewer gets it just right.
