MARSHALL ARISMAN

Thank you Marshall for setting me on the course back in 1984, and being brutally honest with me - you continue to live in our hearts and memories.

Marshall was instructor of mine at SVA back in the 60's. I think I was in one of the 1st classes he taught. It was more of story telling than teaching. Funny stories what it was like being an illustrator, showing us pictures he did for menu's and the absurdity of it all. Getting to know him a bit, went to his apartment on the upper west side and saw his studio , which was part of him and Dee's living room --a partitioned off section wrapped in clear plastic where he was spray painting these...

Marshall was my tenant on 29th st we traded art for rent I considered him a friend sport he´s gone and will be missed Andy j

As a '60 Pratt grad (FashDes), who had been active in student government, I worked with and knew Marsh in those days. Although our paths haven't crossed in the intervening years, I was happy for his success and sad to learn that he has died. My condolences to his family. Warmly Sheila Hoffman Marks

So sad to hear of Marsh's passing. Many fond memories of art class at Jamestown High School. A man of many talents. He entertained with his small band playing at high school functions and various venues. Rest in peace my friend.

Oh Dee, I am so sorry. What a great, funny, kind, lovely man! Oh yeah, and a great artist too.

I am so saddened to hear about Marshall´s passing.I had Marshall as a teacher back in 1980.He taught the history of illustration.The class was so inspiring and loved by the student´s.It was never boring ! He was a great speaker and knew his stuff. He also was well liked by his peers. I can remember Marshall having R. Crumb speak and show his work to the class. What a thrill ! I later ended up teaching at SVA and would see him on occasion.It was always great to see him. I´m sorry for his loss.

Dear Dee- Remembered with love and a smile and a hug for you.

I loved listening to Marshall's lifetime of tales. He was such an inspiration and to this day, I'm confident that he informs every piece of art I make. I love how adventurous he was and how effortless he made art and storytelling appear (I know it was really hard). He and Dee were a terrific couple. We lost a giant. Marshall had a lot of crazy ideas about the spiritual realm. I hope one day to get to speak with him again and compare notes on what he got right. My heart goes out to Dee and...
