these are fun...

Paper-bag Masks​

Following quickly upon the cut-paper figures in The Americans was another Steinberg invention. Between 1959 and 1963, he produced paper-bag masks with an array of social species, made famous through the photographs taken by Inge Morath of the artist and his friends wearing the masks in various settings.

Top 20 Celebrity Painters​

In researching for our previous post on celebrity art investors, we came across an amazing array of celebrities who not only collect art, but create it as well! We couldn’t resist dedicating a post to some of these multi-faceted artists.

Amongst celebrities, painting seems to be the preferred form of visual art, whether in oils, acrylics or watercolors. Certainly there seem to be more celebrity painters out there than sculptors or even photographers. What is it that is so attractive about painting that these already-acclaimed artists should feel so drawn to it?

As with all artist people, the talent and skill of celebrity painters varies from person to person. In no particular order, here are twenty of our favorite celebrity painters. Judge their gifts for yourself!

Yeah, a number of them are quite good. I mean, John Lennon went to art school. He's great. John Mellencamp is quite good. Tony Bennett is quite good. Interestingly, the disco singer Donna Summer was quite good.

The comedian Phil Hartman designed the logo for the band Poco. His brother was in the music business.

The Talking Heads went to art school....bunch of other folks have that background.
 
"Californian artist Erika Craig paints extraordinary images of women submerged in water, deep in thought. Though one can only imagine what these pensive ladies are thinking, there is an unmistakable connection between the subjects and their environment. Water has transformative qualities that extends beyond visual distortion. The natural mirror effect of the element forces one to self-reflect."
