MUSEUM
They came, they looked, they walked
their eyes wide open
they didn’t see
because their minds were closed Their eyes wide open
they didn’t know they couldn’t see
because their minds were closed;
so they looked, and left.

About Eugene J. Martin

Eugene J. Martin (24 July 1938 – 1 January 2005) was an African American visual artist. While his art was "beyond category", he is particularly noted for his complex, often whimsical and biomorphic mixed media collages on paper; pencil, pen and ink drawings; and "pure", lyrical and constructed abstractions on canvas.
