Unlike the others, however, Patrick Nagel enjoyed major success during his lifetime but has since been largely forgotten -- at least until now.In the 30 years since his death, the more I've discovered about Patrick Nagel's work, the more interesting his life story -- and the events of his life that influenced his art -- have become.
