James Christensen - Shakespearean Fantasy Canvas

Description: James Christensen - Shakespearean Fantasy Canvas “I’ve had a lifelong love affair with Shakespeare’s works. Of all the artists - and certainly of all the playwrights and poets - who have ever lived, Shakespeare comes closest to my ideal” says James C. Christensen. “If I took all my best artistic qualities and exaggerated them to become some sort of creative superhero, I like to think I’d be a lot like Shakespeare." “This painting was commissioned by the Utah Shakespearean Festival. People ask me, ‘Why do you only have some of his plays represented here?’ My answer is always the same: ‘The other plays are on the back of the island, just go around!’ Seriously, a few of the references are tough, so you may need to revisit your Shakespeare to get them all." “The Bard had such a deep and intimate understanding of the human condition, so much so that his plays, which were written nearly a half-millennium ago, are still being performed. Why? Because the messages, trials and joys of his characters are universal and because they are beautifully expressed. The pleasure of reading Shakespeare’s sonnets or attending a performance of one of his plays is in his finely crafted language. He says things the way I wish I could say them.” - James Christensen This sold-out 29"x15" Giclée Canvas is in mint condition, in the original plastic wrap, with the original certificate of authenticity and nameplate.
