About the Item
When Hawkins retired his energies went into his art. He had a natural talent for design and color. His tremendous ego is installed in all his works, signing each piece with his name and usually exclaiming "born Kentucky, July 27, 1895". He considered himself one of the greatest artists ever.
Hawkins worked on masonite or plywood. His earlier works were on irregularly shaped objects. Lee Garrett introduced Hawkins's works to the Ricco/Maresca Gallery in 1979. At this time he started producing mainly on boards cut for him. His work is bold and daring. He paints with semi-gloss enamel paint, using one brush and wiping it as he wishes. His subjects range from buildings, stadiums, animals (real and imagined) to religious subjects. He used collage when he felt it was important. Hawkins was a self-taught master painter.

"Senzo Titulo 'Michelangelo Antonioni'" by Patrick Fitzgerald, 2022
By Patrick Fitzgerald
Located in Chicago, IL
To Chicago-based artist Patrick Fitzgerald, his miniature car sculptures are a means of traveling through time. Born from a fascination with the soap box derby cars of his youth, each vehicle is an exercise in imagining the future through the lens of the past – or vice versa.
Built from found materials collected over the years, the car's futuristic form is layered with personal memories and keepsakes from the past. The most minute of details is always intentional – from the weathered finish to the fictitious sponsor to the miniaturized furnishings of the cramped interior.
This coloful vehicle entitled “Senzo Titulo” is a play upon the 1964 film "Il Deserto Rosso," or "Red Desert," by Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni...
