Ernie Barnes * Color & Music In His Art
Noticed the abundance of college football on TV this past weekend. Twitter was full of clips of HBCU Marching groups, with their fancy Drum Majors, smiling Cheer leaders & high stepping bands.
Watching them reminds me of the image above. Can’t you just hear his whistles, the brass section, the drums? Strut on.
I Love it!
A former football player turned artist, Mr Barnes’s work, filled with sports figures and images of everyday people, is known for his use of bright color and elongated figures.
