The drum and the ineffable song
Biggest, Roundest and Brightest Coruscant
Sparkle – motives are weighed in

The People’s Painter: The late Ernie Barnes may be the most successful visual artist to ever begin his career playing professional football.
In 2019, patrons swarmed on the California African American Museum (CAAM) in Los Angeles to see a major survey of the beloved athlete-turned-painter’s work.
The exhibition, titled “Ernie Barnes: A Retrospective,” spanned Barnes’s five-decade career and illuminated his influence on both art history and popular culture.
