About the Book

American Modern Artist & Sculptor Emmett Williams, devotes a lifetime of study to capturing live music musicians on canvas. His works document his understanding of how musicians create, and imposes his graphic insights over their images as the play. His study of art began at an early age. He studied street life on the streets of Washington, D. C. notorious 14 th corridor in the mid '70's. Pimps, junkies, cops, and drug dealers found themselves in his sketchbooks. He travelled to Atlantic City where he studied patrons and hostesses at The Playboy Club, and later in life gamblers and casino staff as well as performers and showgirls. His visual input on musicians developed and eventually landed him exhibitons in multiple galleries as well as a museum in Greenville North Carolina in 2008. The furniture in dustry executives found their way into his studios in Greensboro, NC and his equestrian imagery has been fixtures at the High Point Furniture Market for over a decade. The Artist develops his own one of a kind furniture items for his own studio and home. His Jazz themes adorn his unique pieces. Al manner of materials are used in the creation of his works, from his carboard designs, to steel sculpture. Playwood and stretched canvas are his main mediums, along with his unique leather cartouching abilities. His design powers have taken him to Scottsdale Arizona, where he was commissioned to paint his trademark cubist concepts on more than twenty pieces, sold out and the orders for twenty plus more were reordered and sold out. The highly collectable still life concepts are highly sought after. Instantly fetching 4 figures at first sight. The works presented here in this book are a sample of the painter's thought processes on music. His focus on Jazz, comes as a result of being commissioned b Jazz Clubs in the Washingotn, D.C. area. The more commissions, the more exposure and appreciation came for the music form. He is a student of the saxaphone. And enjoys the learning process. It also gives him further appreciation for the musicians and their instruments. And all things music help aide him in his quest for knowledge. He feels that more attention should be focused on what most now agree is an American made art form, and worthy of promotion. HE promises to do all he can by making as many images available as possible. The Artist's website is www.ArtByEmmett.com.
