On the cover of this year’s "President’s Report 2009-10" from UVA is a painting of the President’s house by art professor Richard Crozier. Reading about Crozier in the week’s paper, I was reminded of the “high/low” experience of life in Charlottesville. One minute Crozier is painting the Rotunda, the next he’s on to the burned-out Taco Bell. This week’s cover story is an interview with Crozier conducted by another local painter, Edward Thomas. Read it here, and don’t forget to leave comments.
