David Salomon

David Salomon is a businessman, photographer, penguin enthusiast, and part-time writer from Dallas, Texas. The author of Penguin-Pedia and Who Needs a Government, Salomon switches topics yet again as he ventures into the world of Igor Samsonov's "total art."One of Salomon's passions is to visit art museums all over the world. Being a nature photographer, he has three things in mind when standing in front of a painting: color, composition, and movement. In Samsonov he found a rare artist who is a master of all three of these elements and much more. The first thing Salomon saw in Samsonov's paintings was the artist's use of vibrant colors, but he soon also noticed his skillful attention to detail and the symbolism in each painting. Salomon wanted to shine an additional light on Samsonov's works by displaying each painting along with its respective story.
