Among Andy Warhol paintings are a series of digital artworks made on an Amiga 1000. Created by the Commodore International, Amiga 1000 is a personal computer in the mid-1980s. As part of a marketing campaign, Andy created a few public pieces. However, it was never discovered if he made any digital artworks for his own purposes.
Now it can be told that he actually did. Stashed away on dozens of unlabeled floppy disks are a treasure trove of Andy Warhol paintings never before seen by the public. These slowly deteriorating artworks consisted of 28 works of art in the form of digital pieces. Andy created them 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.
As a way to share the joy the artist feels during his lifetime is how Thomas Kinkade paintings came about. They were used to support the causes of hospitals, schools and humanitarian relief. Thomas never considered his art to be just a way of living but saw it as a ministry for raising as much money as possible for the sake of charity.
The emphasis of Thomas Kinkade paintings lies in their depiction of simple pleasures and delivery of inspirational messages. Thomas credits a higher power for both his ability and his inspiration in the creation of his paintings.
