Madonna of the Subway
Allan Crite painted this art in 1946. It depicts a black Virgin Mary and baby Jesus ride the Orange Line. His religion inspired many of his works. He uses both the themes of life in Boston’s African American neighborhood as well as the Bible with black characters. He wishes to show the sacredness of humanity through this painting.
Rock and Roll Voodoo
The famous painter Kelly Sullivan created this painting in 1994 at San Francisco’ Warfield Theater. It was for the private Halloween party dedicated for the Rolling Stones during their Voodoo Tour. It is unique because the painting was completed by the Rolling Stones together with their guests. Each of them added their touches of paint and signatures to this canvas.
Fourth of July
Kevin Blythe Sampson created this sculpture. He made this piece to express he and his neighbors felt toward George W. Bush’s “old boy network.” Many residents worried that it would turn out into isolation and aggression, causing the nation to stand alone in the world community.
Steampunk Watch Part Sculptures
The New Jersey-based Sue Beatrice created this interesting sculpture by assembling smallest components from repurposed antique pocket watches and other timepieces. She used to join different parts of an item and make them as human or animal figures.
Portrait of Benjamin Green
This portrait was created in 1956 and is currently displayed in the Montclair Art Museum. It reflects the cultural background of the colonists during the 18th century. It was painted by Joseph Blackburn featuring the soft pastel colors and brushwork which signifies the European rococo painting.
Christmas Morning
Thomas Ball made this sculpture in 1875. This work depicting the innocence of childhood is one of his marble sculptures Ball made. It is characterized as a little girl of about eight years old. The child still wears a nightdress and only one sock. She is up very early to see what has been put into the other sock. She neglects the presents stacked at her feet and prefers to contemplate a crucifix. Therefore, this child is a perfect example of Christian morality and religious virtue.
These art pieces are just a few of the most interesting and notable gifts that the artists have shared with us. Almost all art that became famous came from the old era which means that people will not forget how these things became a part of our culture.
