Denis de Gloire by Joan Altabe, National Examiner art critic.

Striving to be a latter-day Jackson Pollock, Denis de Gloire paints as if he were him. Such striving is an art history tradition. And before I go on to discuss his picture-making, a quick look at the history of copying is needed here because De Gloire’s efforts get short shrift from my fellow critics who, I suspect, forget this history.
