Artwork Featuring Hats

[Hurricane Jack]

Had to look for a moment, but I knew there'd be a damn pipe somewhere. Great painting.

The movement to eradicate tobacco was still yrs away.

I really like the detail in this painting.

Its like where's Waldo isn't Bama ? Haha

Let me make it a little more obvious then. This is the guy all the jokes are told about who freed the genie & wished for a 12 inch..."obnoxious man". He sort of looks like Mark Twain.

These very much resemble the Norman Rockwell look.

These very much resemble the Norman Rockwell look.

Maybe, but Rockwell seemed to inject a little humor in a lot of his paintings. I think Rockwell's are also a bit more "homey".

I looked , counldn't find the self portrait of Norman Rockwell I was looking for with his old Hat on , but here's a portrait of a Dr (notice the thessascope) ...

The Style of Graves work is really similar .

Michael, this reminded me so much of Bing Crosby in a movie called "Stagecoach" ~1965-1966.

I thought it looked like him too , but I didn't do any research . No doubt it is .

He needs one of his "Bing" pipes.

I love old saloons & taverns with a history. Someone a while back posted a vintage photograph or two of McSorley's Old Ale House in the East Village. Here are a couple of paintings done by the artist ~10 yrs apart.

McSorley's Old Ale House (1912) -- John French Sloan (1871 - 1951)

many a night in that building

there is just something about guys in lab coats running around with pints of house brew

the aroma in that place is like nothing I have ever experienced smelling anywhere else

Just Married

And maybe this is the same newlywed couple 30 yrs later? No hats or headgear in the next couple of paintings, but they remind me of home:

Thanks for this education Jack. Love the white jacket and great straw in his last image.
