Art Narrative
Mardi Gras: This piece gives the feeling of a court jester with its lively colors splashing cells and sense of flow. Set on a blackish gray backdrop there are blues, greens, golds, purples and light grays parading about the canvas.
A Tidbit About Mardi Gras: In 1704, Mobile established a secret society (Masque de la Mobile), similar to those that form our current Mardi Gras krewes. It lasted until 1709. In 1710, the “Boeuf Gras Society” was formed and paraded from 1711 through 1861. The procession was held with a huge bull’s head pushed along on wheels by 16 men. Later, Rex would parade with an actual bull, draped in white and signaling the coming Lenten meat fast. This occurred on “Fat Tuesday.” feet (2.7 meters) and weigh between 265 and 395 pounds.”
