Title
Johnny Breaks a Nail
Artist
Eric Dee
Medium
Pastel - Charcoal On Canvas
Description
As he grew old, Johnny Cash came to resent the Nashville country-music establishment, which all but abandoned him and the other aging Country artists who had defined the genre to embrace new pop-oriented country artists like Garth Brooks. His late album Unchained (1996) was virtually ignored by the establishment.
However, the album won a Grammy for Best Country Album. Cash and his producers American Recordings posted an advertisement in Billboard Magazine with the above image as a thank you to the Nashville country music industry after winning the award. The infamous photo of Cash giving the middle finger to the camera was taken back in 1969 during his San Quentin prison performance when asked by the photographer is he had any message for the warden.
This piece was experimental as I wanted to see what effect would result by applying charcoal to canvas.
