Description
Longtime music icon John Mellencamps artistic expression has never been limited to song.
The acclaimed singer-songwriter John Mellencamp has been an accomplished painter for more than four decades. This definitive surveycurated by Mellencamp himselfof his large-scale oil portraits and mixed-media assemblages documents Americas heart and soul, revealing unsettling but beautiful truths with an antiestablishment frown and a rich sense of narrative.
Although we may primarily know Mellencamp as a rock star, one of the highest-selling of all time and a Hall of Famer, he is also a great painter, as this book shows. Not a musician who also paints… No, John legitimately belongs in the modern art pantheon, says Bob Guccione Jr. in his essay that delineates the connection of Mellencamps music and art, both imbued with the earnest voice of Americas heartland.
