Henry Ray Clark : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Ray Clark
Henry Ray Clark (1936–2006) was a folk artist born in Bartlett, Texas and moved to Houston where he became a criminal with the street name of "The Magnificent Pretty Boy." After a series of drug dealing convictions he was found guilty of an assault, his third strike in the Texas Three Strikes Law, which sentenced him to 25 years in Huntsville State Prison. While in prison he developed a characteristic drawing style involving detailed patterning and line work, and was discovered at a prison art show by William Steen who sold Clark's work to national and international buyers. Clark died on July 29, 2006, the victim of a robbery and murder in his home.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://intuitiveeye.org/I-AM-THE-DAY-STAR-by-Henry-Ray-Clark )〕 ==Life== Born in 1936 in the small town of Bartlett, Texas, Clark's family moved to Houston. Young Henry dropped out of school after the sixth grade to "go up on the streets." According to Henry, as a young teenager he was schooled by his uncle in the ways of street hustling and gambling. Henry Ray Clark was a compelling figure in both appearance and personality. Handsome, with deep blue eyes, he came to be known on the streets of Houston as "Pretty Boy" and then "The Magnificent Pretty Boy", either by his own naming or by one of the many women who knew him. Clark's life of drug dealing, pimping, and other hustles always left him feeling on the verge of the next last score that would set him up for life. In 1977, following a series of drug dealing convictions, he was found guilty of assault (Clark shot at a man who tried to run off with Clark's gambling take) and sentenced under Texas' "Three Strikes" Law to twenty five years in Huntsville State Prison. There, Clark was introduced to the prison arts programs and began to draw. Clark found that drawing provided him with a release from the confinement of prison. Using ball point pens and salvaged manila envelopes, he created images of far off galactic worlds inhabited by powerful beings.〔 On July 13 2006, Clark, 69, was shot in the arm and abdomen by two home invaders; he remained in a coma and on life support until his death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chron.com/entertainment/article/Art-turned-around-Henry-Ray-Clark-s-troubled-life-1891467.php )〕
