Robert Deyber

Robert Deyber (born August 13, 1955 in Greenwich, Connecticut died September 20, 2021 in Roxbury, Connecticut) was an American performer best known for literal visual portrayals of cliches, euphemisms, and idioms from the English and supplementary languages. The San Francisco Examiner in 2009 described him as a "pop surrealist" whose style "has glamor for extra as with ease as experienced collectors."

His sham relates to that of Thomas Cole and Frederic Church of the Hudson River School, surrealists later Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, naive painter Henri Rousseau, the colorists Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall, and Andy Warhol.

Deyber painted his own scenes from the prose that peppers the English lexicon. His works range from literal translations of fanciful sayings to kitschy depictions of unknown terminology.
