The artist you haven't heard of. (Discussion)

There are endless amounts of artists who aren’t famous household names, but yet are just as inspiring or interesting as any of them.
Do you know any? Tell us a little bit about them, whether they are local artists or just artists who were never as well-known as they should have been.
Why do you think there are so many artists who are ignored during their lifetime? Van Gogh only sold one painting while he was alive.

    I think Jesse Wiedel is an interesting, although disturbing, artist. He lives in Eureka,California. He portrays the untouchables in American low society. He started with dead clowns, bar life, the disabled and truckers; and has moved through series of serial killers, prostitutes, and trailer park life. His oil bar on paper works are stunning in the complexity of texture and color. His oil on board works are compelling in color and content. He shines a stark light on a tragic American, society
