Artist Ernie Barnes 1938-2009 (GOOD TIMES PICTURE)

TRUFICTION

I remember seeing some of his work at my grandmother's house.

It was art and not black art.

THATS BECAUSE
WHEN HE STARTED OUT THERE WERENT MANY BLACK ARTIST
BETTING RECOGNITION.
GILBERT YOUNG AND MR. BRAMES WERE TO OF THE PIONEERS OF THE
BLACK ART MOVEMENT, WHICH HAS EVOLVED INTO A NECESSARY MARKET AS WELL AS
A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY THAT I AM PROUD TO SAY I AM A PART OF
AND HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO MEET MANY OF THE PIONEERS AND PREDECESSORS THAT MAKE IT WHAT IT IS.

I'm going to get me a Sugar Shack print. Whitney and Bobby had a sweet Ernie Barnes in the crib in the ATL. I wonder what auction it ended up at.
