	IR // News // Unexpectedly abstract
		Poindexter’s interest in modern art “sprang sort of spontaneously from this exposure to the energy and excitement that was happening in New York City after World War II,” Poindexter’s son Joseph recalls.
		Poindexter, reared in “the cultural desert of western Montana” and educated in business at Columbia University, embarked on a personal odyssey to comprehend this art that he initially felt “any child could do better.” He took classes from abstract lion Jack Tworkov, who, to Poindexter’s surprise, forbade Poindexter to paint abstractly himself.
		Poindexter also forced himself to buy and display abstract paintings in his New York apartment, hoping, amid gales of laughter and snide comments from his friends, that constant exposure to the “weird shapes and messy colors” would somehow spark an appreciation.
