From a young age, Thom deVita mingled with famous New York School painters at the Cedar Tavern and exhibited his paintings at open air art fairs in Washington Square Park. In the 1960s he began tattooing, shortly before it became illegal in NYC. DeVita's eccentric style and sophistication significantly influenced the emergence of tattooing as an art from the 1970s onward; today deVita is viewed as a legend in the community. deVita also produced drawings and montages using acetate stencils, as well as constructions. This collects them all.From a young age, Thom deVita mingled with famous New York School painters at the Cedar Tavern and exhibited his paintings at open air art fairs in Washington Square Park.
