Jack Whitten (1939 – 2018)

“I believe in the history of painting. Let’s go back to Franz Kline. Franz Kline helped me. He said to me and a group of younger artists one night, ‘The minute you walk into that studio, and you pick up that brush, you’re a part of history, and you will never be alone.” By God, did that help me, being black and so forth, being left out of shit and so forth, and Franz Kline saying, you’ll never be alone. You pick up that brush and you walk in that studio. Man, that’s meaningful. For a young artist to hear that coming from a master, I still stand by that, he’s right.” – Jack Whitten from an interview by Robert Storr, page. 60)

With the market for surrealism staying strong (see today’s Art of the Surreal auction at Christie’s), we suggest you take a look at our collection of works by the Russian-Jewish-American painter Nahum Tschacbasov. BTW, my wife loves this one from 1944–says it reminds her a bit of Frida Kahlo—so it must be good! #nahumtschacbasov #surreal #surrealism #artoftheday #interiordesign #artadvisory #artofthesurreal #figurativeart #russianartist #americanartist #jewishartist #paintingoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CpN3pZ3rWek/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I attended the reception hosted by ARTSCCC(Arts ContraCostaCounty). I also took photos with other artists in front of our artworks. I would like to thank all the staff and the artist guild who gave me this great opportunity.

“You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone — any person or any force — dampen, dim or diminish your light … Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won.” — John Lewis
