Description

Ernie Barnes' iconic painting 'The Sugar Shack' is a testament to the power of art to capture the vibrancy of human experience. Born in 1938, Barnes grew up in Durham, North Carolina, and was encouraged by his mother to explore art. His 1976 painting 'The Sugar Shack' is a celebration of joy, dance, and community, depicting elongated figures reveling in a crowded juke joint.

This piece gained international attention when it was featured on the beloved television series 'Good Times', becoming a cultural icon. It was also chosen as the cover for Marvin Gaye's 1976 album 'I Want You', creating a fusion of visual and audio art that has become legendary in its own right. More recently, 'The Sugar Shack' made headlines again when the original painting was auctioned for a record-breaking $15.3 million at Christie's New York. As you consider this product, you're not just purchasing an item, but a piece of history that continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.

Christmas Gift for Fiance'

He's wanted this print for a long time. It was a Christmas gift. Though it was a gift for him, it really is a gift for US because it looks marvelous hanging in what will be our 'lounge' area.
