This entire website is dedicated
to our friend and collegue John Sinkankas (1915 - 2002). He
provided the use of his immense library, encouragement,
inspiration, and knowledge. Without his
help, this work would not have been possible.
|
A special thanks and appreciation
goes out to all of these artists and their friends and family
who made this database possible.
