"The Curiously Sinister Art of of Jim Flora - A 60 year retrospective of paintings & prints" Exhibition
Dorian Grey Gallery
This event has ended.
James (Jim) Flora is best known for his wild 1940s-50s jazz album covers for Columbia Records and RCA Victor. He wrote and illustrated 17 popular children's books and flourished for decades as a magazine illustrator. Flora was also prolific as a fine artist with a devilish sense of humor and a flair for juxtaposing playfulness and violence, all with a pronounced bent of absurdity....cute — and sinister. Flora once said that all he wanted to do was "create a little piece of excitement. It could be said he over shot his goal with much of his work!
