I read this a few weeks ago!! So interesting!
Oliver is a compelling artist, and has a fascinating life story. His work is mystical and dreamlike, reminds me a bit of Frida Kahlo, who also experienced much suffering in life
NPR also has a link to an audio interview with the writer, Sheeler and links to more images of Oliver's paintings:
