Henry Lawrence Faulkner (January 9, 1924 – December 5, 1981) was a Kentucky born artist and poet known as an eccentric rebel and bohemian. Faulkner is best known for his wildly colorful oil paintings and eccentric acts, including his bringing a bourbon-drinking goat to parties and art shows. He was a close friend, and possible lover, of Tennessee Williams who called him, "a creative poet and artist". Faulkner died in a car accident in Lexington, Kentucky on December 3, 1981.
