Robert Deyber (August 13, 1955 - September 20, 2021) was an American artist best known for literal visual portrayals of cliches, euphemisms, and idioms from the English and other languages.
Deyber eventually wound up in Perugia and Milan, Italy where he studied and observed the works of Giotto di Bondone and other Italian painters.
While he continued to develop and show his work, he was an executive in the airline industry, which allowed him to travel all over the world, exposing himself to art in many museums.
At the time he was self-published and selling original paintings and prints through many galleries across the country and was routinely featured in the Artful Home catalog.
While Deyber's preferred medium of artistic expression was painting, he did produce some three-dimensional sculpture pieces and had many sketches and plans for installation work.
