About the Item

Artist: Denny Dent Title: Albert Einstein Portrait Medium: Oil on paper Framed Size: 74.5 x 56.75" framed Size: 69.75 x 51.5" With his remarkable artistic technique and inspiring energetic performance, the artist Denny Dent has captivated the audience worldwide, exhorting them to unleash their creativity. “It's not what you do, it's the way you do it that makes you an artist. Whatever you do do it with all your heart. Be what you are, be creative,” he once said. Denny Dent immortalized a range of musicians, sportsmen, politicians, and actors, but also notables such as Albert Einstein. A theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics, Einstein is also remembered for his restless personality, humbleness, and charisma. One of Dent’s Einstein paintings now proudly hangs in the Lecture Halls building at the St. Louis Community College-Meramec campus. The work on offer was created during one of Dent’s performances, which he described as a “two-fisted art attack”. Dent here employs a certain level of abstraction while rendering the features of Einstein’s face in detail through a clever interplay of shadows. Executed with his distinct coarse brushstrokes and vibrant coloration, the work epitomizes the immense amount of energy the artist invests in his “dance on canvas”. Simple, yet dramatic, this work is a wonderful homage to a scientist who has changed the course of modern physics forever. *** The piece comes in professional, safe packaging.

His act called “Two-Fisted Art Attack” was, in fact, a performance involving music, dancing, and painting with both hands, three brushes in each. The skill this inimitable artist showed on each of his speed painting sessions complemented his energy, while the audience was often left mesmerized. Because of the uniqueness of his performance, Dent enjoyed great popularity, while the portraits he painted were sold for rather high prices for speed art. Denny Dent’s humble origins included his mother, also an artist and his grandfather, an ambidextrous cabinetmaker, who bestowed the initial talent upon him. Although he did not finish school, the artistic drive and the need to express himself were always present and the first time he got a chance to do so is during a 1981 John Lennon vigil. His act proved to be so different from anything else and so interesting, that he started to get calls from all over the country, painting as an opening act for bands and in other occasions. He was brought to spotlight with his legendary performance at Woodstock in 1994, where he painted in front of 300,000 people. As his popularity grew, so did the range of his subjects, which included renowned musicians such as John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix or Tina Turner, NHL and NASCAR sportsmen, and politicians such as former U.S. President Bill Clinton and New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, among others. Born in 1948, Denny Dent lived in Denver, Colorado and died in 2004 of complications related to a heart attack.
