i read about an artist before who used to attend exhibitions at either the time of the surrealists, impressionists or other such well known art movement types and was known as the silent artist or something...not talking and wearing fully bright coloured suits rg pink or purple ad he just did something random like hand out leaflets or something??? at the time i remember thinking he sounds quirky as and appreciating what he did but was over a year ago and now want to base an essay around his almost performance style pieces but cant remember/find his name anywhere...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
