The weird and wonderful New Orleans folk art of Dr. We hope to be adding many more pieces in the coming weeks, so check back often. These paintings are not only great New Orleans memorabilia, but would make a great showpiece with a positive message in your bar, juke joint, or music venue. Description of this piece: This is an original one of a kind painting from a brand new series Bob has been working on in which the wooden painting surface is cut in an oval so that the image portrayed will be a depiction of a prayer candle, with various and humorous themes. These are bound to become serious collectors’ items! The dimensions are approximately 17 x 6. The condition is excellent. A Brief Bio of Dr. Bob, half Crow Indian and half French/German, is a self taught artist born in Kansas who relocated to New Orleans via Lake Pontchartrain. His utilization of found objects in his work, along with his own unique painting style, have combined into one of the most recognizable and respected representations of New Orleans and Louisiana folk art in the world. He popularized the phrase “Be Nice or Leave” in his paintings, which has become an internationally recognized part of his identity. Among the celebrities who have added Dr. Bob’s work to their private collections are Emmy Lou Harris, GiO The Burlesque Queen of New Orleans! , Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey Mariah actually posed with her Dr. Bob piece for People Magazine! , Billy Connolly, Isaac Tigrett, and The Reverend Howard Finster. Bob’s work can also be found in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institute, The Memphis Blues Foundation, the Center for Southern Folklore in Memphis, as well as the New Orleans House of Blues.
