A series of digital works made on an Amiga 1000 are included among Andy Warhol paintings. A personal computer made in the mid-1980s, Amiga 1000 was a product of the Commodore International Company. The few public pieces that Andy created were then part of a marketing campaign. Whether he made any additional digital artworks outside of the campaign remained a mystery.
The mystery is a mystery no more, as a treasure trove of never-before-seen Andy Warhol paintings have been unearthed. The paintings were stashed away on dozens of unlabeled floppy disks. Found in a slowly deteriorating state, the artworks consisted of 28 digital pieces now considered as works of art. They were created on a host of 1980s graphics software.
Thanks to Cory Arcangel, an NYC artist who is a self proclaimed Warhol enthusiast. After watching a clip of Andy Warhol paintings, including a digital portrait of Debbie Harry during an Amiga demonstration, his curiosity was aroused. This curiosity led to discovery of the missing Warhol artworks.
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.
