Almost There: A Portrait of Peter Anton

Peter Anton, a 78 year-old resident of East Chicago, Indiana, creates paintings that illuminate moments of significance from his personal history based on photographs he has obsessively compiled into a massive autobiography titled "Almost There." Discovering Peter creating portraits during a visit to Pierogi Fest, co-curators Dan Rybicky and Aaron Wickenden have spent the past four years documenting Peter's environment and day-to-day life of creating art under brutal conditions. Intuit is proud to take part in helping bring Peter's art to the public eye.
