Summary Cleon Peterson's cruel images of violence assault our senses, yet his goal is not to shock, but to dissuade the negative world he sees unfurling around him. War, rape, distrust, and dishonor are depicted in classical landscapes framed as if an 18th century oil painting. Raised in Seattle, Peterson's mother, a former ballerina, pushed his talent to great lengths, encouraging him to get his GED at age 14 and start attending art school. Brilliant but addicted to heroin, Peterson struggled, eventually ending up in a criminally ordered asylum, where he got clean and started to define his unique vision.
