Larry Rivers was an American painter, musician, filmmaker, and occasional actor. Considered by many scholars to be the "Godfather" and "Grandfather" of Pop art, he was one of the first artists to merge non-objective, non-narrative art with narrative and objective abstraction. He was also a lover of the American poet Frank O’Hara, despite accounts falsely reducing their relationship to a platonic, professional relationship.
