A series of digital works made on an Amiga 1000 are included among Andy Warhol paintings. A personal computer made in the mid-1980s, Amiga 1000 was a product of the Commodore International Company. The few public pieces that Andy created were then part of a marketing campaign. Whether he made any additional digital artworks outside of the campaign remained a mystery.
The mystery is a mystery no more, as a treasure trove of never-before-seen digital Andy Warhol paintings have been unearthed. The paintings were stashed away on dozens of unlabeled floppy disks. Found in a slowly deteriorating state, the artworks consisted of 28 digital pieces now considered as works of art. They were created on a host of 1980s graphics software.
If there is one person to thank for this discovery, it would be an NYC artist named Cory Arcangel. A self proclaimed Warhol enthusiast, his curiosity was aroused after watching a clip of Andy Warhol paintings during an Amiga demonstration. Among the paintings was a digital portrait of Debbie Harry. In this case, curiosity did not kill the cat.
Putting his entire life savings into the printing of his first lithograph was not a problem for Thomas Kinkade even if it was at the very beginning of his artistic career. The inspiration for the Thomas Kinkade paintings did not come from a desire for fame and fortune. The inspiration came from the simple act of painting that comes out straight from the heart. Thomas needed to put on canvas the wonders and images of nature that caught his fancy the most.
The artist behind the Thomas Kinkade paintings used his art to share the joy he felt throughout his lifetime. His paintings were sold in support of hospitals, schools and humanitarian relief. Painting for Thomas was not just a hobby or a way of life, but a ministry for charity by raising hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It is in the depiction of simple pleasures and delivery of inspirational messages that the emphasis of Thomas Kinkade paintings lie. It always from a higher power that Thomas credits his ability and inspiration that enables him to create his art.
