68. Michelangelo Lovelace: Outsider Artist, Hustlin’ Since Birth, Paints Life As he Knows It
Manage episode 281539012 series 1452534
Artist Michelangelo Lovelace’s paintings depict the soul of the streets: real life in America. We talk about being raised to hustle, belt vs. extension cord whoopings, meeting his first wife (who is also his fourth wife), how many jobs a man really needs, and why it’s never Momma’s fault. What artist and mentor Reverend Albert Wagner taught him about life, paint, and sex. Then, we explore the life of an outsider artist, from selling his work in the streets to selling at Tina Knowles’s benefit and collectors abroad, and all of the rejections and hustles in between. It’s vodka love, Superman, and Black Kryptonite ... on #conversationforadults.
