Larry Zingale was born in New York in 1938. The self-taught artist discovered in 1973 by New York gallerist, Gisela Fabian of Fabian Gallery who included his works in an important American show on Self-taught artists. He had six one man shows in N.Y.C., and was recognized as "one of the outstanding self taught artists of the twentieth century" in "American folk art in the 20th" (Rizzoli, New York). His paintings have sold at Sotheby's in N.Y. and he is listed in "Who's Who In American Art".

The subject of this portrait exudes traditional masculinity, a defined jaw line and adorned with "dog tags" that suggest military service. The second focal point, Coca Cola in its iconically shaped glass bottle, places the man in the context of American consumerism. Is he endorsing the soda, or enjoying it?
