Noted: Fred Stonehouse says he has a privileged view of Wisconsin politics. He lives in a working class and deeply red neighborhood in Slinger, teaches art in the “leftie bubble” of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and considers himself “a Milwaukee guy,” he says. Like a lot of artists, he leans left, but he’s hip deep in conservative circles too, including family and the monied collectors who buy his work. It’s one of the reasons his subtext is subtle.
