I have to admit, though, that my sadness is somehow selfish. I knew it wouldn\u2019t be long until my turn to face the end of this life, just like my favorite artist who sang these songs to me and grew up listening to them. However, there are some artists behind the mask of sadness who are simply prompted to promote their freshly made paintings and prints to profit from shocked fans who want to pay tribute to their hero. On that very same day!<\/p>\n<h3>David Bowie\u2019s own art<\/h3>\n<p>So, instead of sharing art made on the death of David Bowie, here I would like to share some of his very own body of work. Let\u2019s pay real tribute to him by celebrating his creativity! David Bowie\u2019s paintings show a knowledgeable approach to art, influenced by Frank Auerbach, David Bomberg, Francis Bacon, and Francis Picabia\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>German Expressionism<\/h3>\n<p>In the spring of 1976, he and Iggy Pop left America \u2018and moved to Berlin. They were fleeing the\u00a0artistic cannibalism of Los Angeles. Berlin gave him access to a new life and new inspirations. And not just about music: Bowie, whose affinity for <strong>German Expressionist art far pre-dated his residence in Berlin<\/strong>, executed then a great number of\u00a0lithographs and many portrait paintings. It had a great influence on his\u00a0songwriting.\u00a0He clearly isn\u2019t a master, and there is a\u00a0technical lack of practice to be seen, but there is also passion and great sensitivity.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou aren\u2019t dead as long as somebody is thinking about you.\u201d Bertolt Brecht<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He was a musician, a songwriter, an actor, and a legend.
