American painting has always reserved a special place in the grand tradition of "Illustrators". As
you always put everything in "boxes"
they were called the "realist school".
Edward Hopper, Grant Wood, Thomas Brenton Norman Rockwell or
were the figureheads.
But succession is there, present, beautiful in its diversity and talent.
Also, I take pleasure to introduce you to (for those who do not know ...) a few small "jewels" of the American school. Whether they
James Bennett, Gary Kelley and Kadir Nelson, they are superbly ignored by European art critics!
They are mostly totally unknown in Europe, and are not listed in any catalog.
For cons, the USA, they are recognized for what they are, ie
real artists if their work does not end up (mostly) in museums!
They offer their talents to "eat" a few fleeting moments ...
... But this is not part of the purpose of art, painting and photography?
Then follow the guide ...
"Scratch" from James Bennet (1987)
"Kermit's Lounge" from James Bennet (1989)
"Orient Express" from Gary Kelley (1990)
"Jail's Blues" from Gary Kelley (1992)
"Marvin Gaye" from Kadir Nelson (1995)
... and most importantly, do not hesitate to get lost!
