Description
In 1994, the artist Rik Freeman began outlining, researching and working on a series of paintings called "THE CHITTLIN CIRCUIT REVIEW." The series is based on the origin, evolution and fruition of the musical tradition known as the Blues. The paintings focus on a visual interpretation of not only the lyrics, but the reality of the conditions that birthed the Blues and the music's impact on our current society.
The Fife, Fiddle and Drum can be a part of yor collection with the right bid.
Special Instructions
While the series is based on factual times and conditions, it revolves around fictional characters, principally "Mud Paw Willie and the Dawg Gon Blues Band," and their experiences in and around the Chittlin Circuit, even before it was known as such. "Chitlin Circuit" is a colloquial term used to define the regional touring areas where Black musicians and entertainers were able to perform under Jim Crow laws and segregation.
