In 1983, a soft-spoken man with a soon to be famous perm began teaching painting on a small program on public television. Now, 25 years after Bob Ross tragically died at the age of 52, The Joy of Painting is still broadcast on public television and millions still seek out his videos, some to learn about painting, others just to listen to Ross’s iconic voice. In this officially licensed special issue, editors investigate the private life of the pioneer of painting, review the upcoming museum exhibits where his work will be on display, and look at why Bob Ross still maintains a dedicated following today.
