Yes Yes Yes. You knew it was coming.

How could I finish this magnificent year without highlighting Galleries from 2021?

Where did 2021 go, anyway?

There’s not much that gives me more joy than discovering and sharing unique, different, and spectacular artists. Every time I come across something new I can’t wait to share it with you.

I go back and wander through my galleries often — I am always amazed at the individual and different kinds of creativity that wait back there for me — and you — to explore.

So allow me a few minutes of showing off. Here are some of the highlights from the Gallery of 2021.

Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol was born on August 6, 1928 in Pittsburgh, and worked as a successful magazine and ad illustrator.

Mao

 

Warhol’s works span over a range of paintings, silk-screening, photography, film and sculpture.

Marilyn Diptych

 

His works often research the correlation between artistic expression, advertising and celebrity culture that was seen flourishing in the 1960s.

Birth of Venus

 

Most times, the subject of his work changes from symbolic American objects to fiction, to celebrities to traditional concepts. His paintings triggered a turn around in the way art was perceived.

John Lennon

 

Instead of portraits, landscapes, battle scenes or other subjects that experts thought of as “art,”  Warhol took images from advertising, comic books and other bits of popular culture and created the “pop” in Pop art

Flowers

 

He is known for his drawing and repetition, using a single object multiple times in a painting.

Queen Elizabeth II

 

Andy Warhol made art available to the masses so that people could learn to see the beauty of everyday things and understand that everything around them is beautiful in its essence.

Martha Graham, Letter to the World

 

He made art fun.

As Warhol once said, “The idea is not to live forever, it is to create something that will.”
