David Adickes
Set of 4 Realistic Optical Illusion Cast Stone Portraits of The Beatles

21st Century

About the Item

Set of four cast stone portraits of the members of the iconic British rock group The Beatles by Houston artist David Adickes. Each portrait is recessed into the stone, but appears to pop out towards the viewer as they move around it. Currently hung in colorful hand painted frames by the artist. Artist Biography: Born (1927) and raised in Huntsville, TX, David Adickes is an artist whose art and heart are closely aligned with Paris, France. After studying art at the Atelier F. Leger in the late 40s, Adickes burst onto the art scene in Houston and elsewhere in the early 50s and has been a prominent member of Houston’s art community ever since. While his most visible works are his giant sculptures, from the Virtuoso in downtown Houston to the 76-foot Sam Houston in his hometown of Huntsville, David Adickes has for decades produced paintings that have been acclaimed in numerous art exhibitions and galleries, both in the United States and internationally. Moreover, his paintings continue to delight collectors with a distinct blend of classic style, delightful palette, and a touch of whimsy.
