Joe Frost has written a fitting tribute to the late Ken Whisson in the latest Artist Profile.
Frost notes that “From his emergence in the mid-twentieth century, Whisson related to his audience not as compatriots in need of a national story, but as human beings capable of refashioning their own perception and, he hoped, transforming the structures of society.”
