About the Item: A large, powerful image of legendary New Orleans artist George Dureau in which this time he depicts HIMSELF as an angel! Two of his iconic dwarves accompany him. Dureau was indisputably one of New Orleans' greatest artists, and his reputation continues to rise - for both his photos and his artwork. He was of course a huge influence on Robert Mapplethorpe, who almost arbitrarily became more famous than his friend. Rather than present a very long description here, I invite you to simply Google "George Dureau New Orleans artist" for an abundance of information about him. Very nicely matted and framed, ready to hang.
