Syd's Artwork

Post by iwantmypinkfloydnow »

After Syd's death, it got me thinking. Well all the artworks and music that Syd created in suclution be revieled or will his family keep it for some time?

as i just said in the "this may be inapropriate" thread i hope his artwork is put on display somewhere. i will travel anywhere in England to see these paintings as this is a look into the mind of Roger from recent years rather than Syd who has been gone for many many years

I think it would certainly provide closure of sorts. Fans would get a taste of Keith and realise why he wanted to be left alone all these years. It would provide insite into his mind, which is obviously damaged.

Btw. What was is his sisters name?

Perhaps you could offer to buy his copy of the Oxford English Dictionary.

If Syd didn't want them dispayed in his lifetime, why rubbish his name by putting them out now?

Just got this email advertising for art cards of his paintings. I admit I never really paid much attention to his visual arts. Quite nice stuff:
