Table of ContentsReviews"""Art Paul did for publishing what Warhol did for fine art: he blurred the line between what hangs in galleries and what appears in magazines.""-Hugh Hefner ""Art's work embodies the qualities he has cultivated in others. His drawings are as direct as his handwriting. His style reflects his forthrightness, wit, and intelligence without flaunting them. Art's art is the work of a man whose modesty is rooted in a secure ego. He reveals himself by boiling things down to their essence."" -Brad Holland ""In Art's relationship with artists, as an artist himself he had an innate empathy with them, and knew instinctively when to not restrict them. He gave artists his trust, in the way Hefner had trusted him. In doing so he allowed them the freedom to be honest, to be themselves, and to produce work with honesty and authenticity. With soul. As Art describes this relationship: 'What I provide is reinforcement and support for artists' personal vision; when artists sense this endorsement, they are comfortable doing their best work. It's a very trusting and warm relationship.'""-James Goggin, RISD + Practice" """Art Paul did for publishing what Warhol did for fine art: he blurred the line between what hangs in galleries and what appears in magazines.""–Hugh Hefner “Art's work embodies the qualities he has cultivated in others.
