Brosseau Center for Learning: Six Degrees of Separation: Prints from KU and Beyond

Leibowitz earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Kansas. He is well known for his persona as a reluctant, self-loathing artist. Like this print, Leibowitz’s works are often text-based and colorful. I have a crush on You/thanks is reminiscent of passing notes in class, and it features a sarcastic rejection that is typical of feelings of inadequacy expressed in Leibowitz’s work.
