Angelus in America

March 2011
Diptych, each 20"x36"
Based on the shapes in the Dalí painting "Archaeological Reminiscences," which was in turn based on the shapes in the Millet painting "The Angelus."  I was wanting to draw something distinctly American (and positive), so of course what immediately came to mind was Jazz, and then someone's interpretation of the Dalí painting as a man playing the saxophone when I was in college.
