Perfect Storm” of Three Unrelated Things Coming Together All at Once Perfect You will not fnd anyone nicer than Bob Clark. In the racetrack world, he is ‘Mr. Clark’, probably the top racehorse painter in the West- Storm ern Hemisphere. In the art community, he is ‘Bobo’, authority on all things life-of-working- artist. He is, hands-down, the expert on the business side of being an artist. He is also an encyclopedic compendium of Thorough- bred racing, as well as being a go-to man on any subject concerning art history, theory, and technique. the paintings His work is meticulous; he strives for exact representation. He is old-school--a photo- realist who never traces or uses a projector. His portraits hang everywhere there are race- of Robert Clark horses: the US, Great Britian, Dubai, Saudi Arabia. During racing season, he paints in the paddock area of all the large racetracks, or at tuxedo meet-and-greets for equine charities. He is, somehow, the completely approachable interview by Lyne Raff ‘Bobo’ and the uber-respected ‘Mr. Clark’ all at the same time. Artist, sportsman, and perfectionist, he often fnds himself in the role of artist’s advocate--as well as advocate for Art itself. He does with ease what not many could do; he can take the pressure of having racing fans, equine experts, and millionaire horse owners watch over his shoulder as he paints. And he breathes Thoroughbred. Can’t get much better than that. was born in Paris, Tennessee. My dad was in the Navy. Both my parents were I from Paris, and I’m not real sure if my Dad just happened to be on leave when I was born or how it happened to work out that way, but the rest of my brothers and sisters are born all over the country, from Maryland to Califor- nia. I lived in San Diego until my dad retired from the military around 1970, when we moved to a 200 acre farm outside of Henry, TN. The sign said Pop. 178, and Henry was 7 miles from our house. So, I kind of went from the city to the sticks (or twigs in my case). From living in a mobile home with hundreds of them jammed together in park, to a farm where we couldn’t see another house in any direction. The big selling point about leaving CA was that we could have horses on the farm.
