Welcome to
the George Quaintance blog
Ken Furtado and John Waybright are the authors of QUAINTANCE: The Short Life of an American Art Pioneer, the only complete, authoritative biography of Quaintance ever written. Our book fills a cultural, historical and academic void for this seminal 20th century artist. It is packed with photos and available as an ebook at Smashwords, for the low price of $12.99. We are excited to have exclusive access to hundreds of never-published photographs from Quaintance’s personal scrapbooks and family archives. Sadly, John passed away in May 2013, before seeing the book published. We hope you will use this site as a platform to exchange ideas, information and images related to this under-valued artist, as well as to learn more about him.

A reader in France discovered these two videos on a site called Dailymotion, which appears to be very similar to the US site, Instagram. They were posted in 2013 by a fellow calling himself swimguynunu. I am not a user of Dailymotion, so I can’t provide any information about swimguy, and his videos offer no clues.
