ABOUT THE ARTWORK

(Inspired by Martin Luther King) From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963 this speech rang out to FIRE UP AND ELECTRIFY THE NATION.. It led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Fair Housing Act of 1968.. "Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. And when this happens, and we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's childrenk, Black men and white men, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last, Free at last, Free at last... Thank God almighty, we are free at last. --From the Martin Luther King collection-- NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE 1st TIME, EXCLUSIVELY ON SAATCHIART

"Musical Visions" is my body of work, spanning all aspects of music from jazz to rock, from dance to spirit, and beyond. My great grandfather wrote the "Hatikvah," the national anthem of Israel, and my father was a commercial artist, thus the genetic splicing that produced "Musical Visions!" These are paintings of music, with the music being channeled through the abstract, and realism being used to depict the man or woman's relationship with his instrument and body. Before I was a painter and musician, I was a writer, so there is a "river of words" which runs through the art, and thus the text accompanying the pieces is an indivisable part of the artwork, informing the images, and taking them to another conceptual and spiritual level! In my salad days I worked in TV News for ABC-TV and NBC-TV as a writer. I spent some time as a musician, and was a WNEW Prisoner of Rock, and had a regional hit with "Riverside Drive," and my innovative dance tracks were featured on L'Rai Radio in Europe. After being exposed to an intensive regimen of Zen Meditation, I began to "See" the music, and decided to spend my career "painting MUSIC!" The implications are highly spiritual, because we are experiencing the music in another dimension, at a deeper level of reality, suggesting that all energies and peoples are one! Musical Visions is currently on exhibition at the Ward Nasse Gallery in SoHo, New York. Prior to that I had 2 one man shows in NYC at the Berekeley Gallery on Madison Avenue. I was also featured in the museum of WBGO jazz 88 Radio (NPR), with another solo exhibition of Musical Visions. And I was the first artist to have a solo exhibition at NJPAC (New Jersey Performing Arts Center). Over the years I've had showings at the Newport Jazz Festival, and the Saratoga Performing Artst Center (SPAC I hope that the offerings of Musical Visions will stimulate you to "think out of the box," and more importantly, to experience the joy and spiritual elevation of MUSIC!
