Norbert P. died recently, and I saw an ad in a magazine for a posthumous show, the ad showing a ceramic piece, and I was drawn to it. I'd never heard of him. Turns out he also did abstract paintings, and I like them, too. I'm not sure why I'm attracted to his work though-- it's really kind of hideous, with icky colors and textures. I will have to come back to this artist and lean more. There is an interview with John Yau: http://www.brooklynrail.org/2010/05/art/norbert-prangenberg-with-john-yau
