 The Great Secret American Painter 

with the name you'll know

ROBERT DE NIRO


Remembering Robert De Niro

A great article over at Messy Nessy (click link above) about a largely forgotten and under appreciated American painter with the most famous name. Robert De Niro Snr and his life as an artist says more about his actor son than we may at first realise. Suitably proud the son of the painter resolved their relationship towards the latter's mature reflection upon what a fickle mistress the arts can be and what one's father's sexuality can take some adjustment to.
