Yes he is. I first read about him and the goat thing in a book about the life of Jackson Pollock I think. Pollock studied with Thomas Hart Benton...I just find that wild! Either that or one of the Andy Warhol books. I was obsessed with Warhol and Pop Art when I was in high school. I think I've read just about everything put out by any and all of the factory hangers-on. Yeah, the back stories on the artists themselves and their motivations is wildly more interesting than just the art by itself.
