DescriptionEric Dolphy (1928-1964) - by Ken Barnes - Original 9" x 12" on canvas.Tried a different approach with this painting. Rendered with the opposite end of my brush and used acrylics(oils are my medium) to add movement and emotion. I call it 'Pop Expressionism'. In the jazz of the 1960s, Eric Dolphy was an original: a hero to some, but also a mystery, a virtuosic improviser searching for ways of expression outside of common practice. He died of an undiagnosed diabetic condition in Berlin in June 1964, at 36, old enough to consolidate his experience and wisdom but perhaps too young to settle his reputation, which had by then taken some knocks from those who found his music abstract or abrasive. In my own playing, he told the critic Martin Williams in 1960, I am trying to incorporate what I hear. I hear other resolutions on the basic harmonic patterns, and I try to use them. And I try to get the instrument to more or less speak everybody does....Eric Dolphy Social/Sharing |

Eric Dolphy was a god-like genius and this painting manages to perfectly capture his rich spirit. Well done!
