The Whimsical Art of Jose S. Perez
"The Psychiatrist"
Jose Perez was born in Houston, Texas, on June 30, 1929.
Perez says of his own work: "Satirical painting suits my need as an artist: The freedom to distort and yet remain in the spectrum of the fine arts. It is also my best way to communicate with my fellow man. The social comment, in which satirical art expresses it power, is without malice; it merely represents my personal view of the world as I see it, either from an historical point, the present, or the future."
Jose Perez lives with his wife, Mary, in Washington, D.C. At present, he is working on two series of satirical paintings, one of which, for the 1996 Olympics, deals with sports; the other, for the 1996 presidential election year, with politics.
