| If you ever watch Pawn Stars you have seen this painting. It has been seared into my memory. It now might be one of the most recognizable images in the entire history of art. The show gets 5-7 million viewers per episode.
You probably know but what that is is a painting of Jim Morrison done by the "speed painter" Denny Dent who died in Denver in 2004 of complications from a heart attack.
What speed painting is was him rapidly creating a painting on black canvas with multiple brushes and his bare hands to a musical accompaniment.
His work was usually done onstage in front of an audience or at a gathering. In fact, he got his start at a vigil for John Lennon in 1980. John Lennon died in New York City in 1980 from multiple gunshot wounds. |  |
