David Russo's 90th Birthday...

The Tahoe Art League is a group of incredibly talented local artisans and tonight they honored one of their own- David Russo.

David is a very famous man in town for his art and his teaching. He also has an incredible history. In 1948, he won the Stephen David Epstein Memorial Art Scholarship which included a year with Pablo Picasso, in Paris. When asked about his year as National Boy of the Year, he said, “I met a lot of great people: governors, senators, movie stars, even the President of the United States, but to be the pupil of Picasso, now that’s the greatest of all.”


To get to know David Russo, through his art and the words of his friends, was a pretty magical way to spend our afternoon. He is a treasure. Happy birthday David. Here's to many more!
