R.I.P. Ernie Barnes

It may take awhile for some to recall who Ernie Barnes was, until you see his art.  Barnes passed away last month and left behind his incredible and iconic art to be appreciated in his absence. As October Gallery writes,

Americans became familiar with the art of Ernie Barnes via the television show “Good Times,” and his appointment as the Official Artist of the XXIII Olympiad at Los Angeles. But his work gained critical acclaim and collector strength through Manhattan’s prestigious Grand Central Art Galleries. Today, he continues to be one of the most collected artists in America.

Ernie Barnes is survived by his wife Bernie.
