Gifts for Art Lovers : The Art of Clifford Faust

Fancy contemporary art? Fancy jazz? Well then! We have something in common. Let me introduce you to a wonderful contemporary artist who captures famous African-Americans entertainers, mostly jazz (or soul and R&B) musicians, with his own unique style and flair. In other words, he makes them look even jazzier.

Via Pinterest, my blogs, and sites where my articles are contributed, I collect and share the work of Artists I Fancy. Meet one of these artists. His name is Clifford Faust (pictured).

What is O-O-CA-NYC? No those aren’t credentials. That is the route Mr. Faust took to end up where he is right now. He was born in Oklahoma, grew up in Oregon, attended art school in California, also worked in California for a while – but currently he lives and works in New York City.

He has an impressive series of African-American musicians which includes Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and two artists who are part of the soundtrack of my life: James Brown and Stevie Wonder.
