Bill Komodore, an Athens, Greece-born painter and educator, has died. Komodore, who lived in our neighborhood, was a professor at SMU.

Komodore “was known for his figurative works, playing with both the mythical idea of Arcadia as a place of creative perception and with the experience of being a native of the actual Arcadia, Greece, which he describes as ‘the bucolic land of sheperds, beautiful nymphs, and satyrs,’ ” according to an obituary from Glasstire.com.
