| Michael Trossman Making his Giclee Prints Available Online Michael Trossman, the celebrated painter whose renditions of famous musicians, writers and other artists span from the pages of The New Yorker and Rolling Stone to the walls of the nation's finest art galleries, has made his masterpieces more accessible. High quality giclee prints of his award winning originals are available in customizable sizes and paper types through his website at MichaelTrossman.com. "Michael Trossman is an exceptionally talented artist who celebrates jazz and blues performers with special power through his paintings", said William Ferris, former Chairman of The National Endowment for the Humanities. "His work is truly a national treasure. (His) powerful images evoke the jagged edge of blues, jazz, and rock and roll. Trossman captures artists and echoes their music through his art with unique sensitivity. His fine work chronicles American music with a special power that leaves the viewer breathless."

No one is better at capturing the soul of the artist", explains Frances Kiernan, author of Seeing Mary Plain. "His portraits of musicians and writers are a marvel. I know him best for his drawings of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, James Joyce, Stevie Wonder and Mary McCarthy. His range is wide, his sympathy deep. As I worked on my biography of Mary McCarthy, his portrait of this formidable writer seemed to hover over my desk - a constant reminder that behind her famously prickly nature was tenderness, vulnerability, and pain." Known internationally for his ability to capture far more than the likenesses of the world's greatest known personalities, Michael Trossman is an award winning painter currently living in New York's west side. His works have appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and The NewYorker, as well as on numerous posters, record jackets and fine art galleries from around the world. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
