Malcolm Genet

Malcolm was born in New Orleans. As a senior member of the staff, he has been largely responsible for interviewing and writing about our artists for our paper and web publications. On the side, he has written copy for many artists, including Peter Max, Luigi Rocca, Richard Currier, Michelle Gagliano, and Mackenzie Thorpe. "You don't have to know anything about art or the artists to love art," he says, "but it actually is fun to look into these things, and it frequently opens doors in your mind and helps you be more receptive to unfamiliar subjects and styles." Malcolm has a BA from Tulane University and an MA and PhD from the University of California at Berkeley.
