Artist Ernie Barnes

Americans became familiar with the art of Ernie Barnes via the television show "Good Times," and his appointment as the Official Artist of the XXIII Olympiad at Los Angeles. But his work gained critical acclaim and collector strength through Manhattan's prestigious Grand Central Art Galleries.

Today, Ernie Barnes continues to be one of the most collected artists in America.

One of my most favorite artists ever. Ernie Barnes has an AWESOMELY diverse collection of paintings & drawings. I 1st was enthralled with his talent by the beautiful artwork that appeared on the 1970s hit-show Good Times. I would love to share with you some of my favorites from his collection... More can be found on his websites: ErnieBarnes.com and Ernie Barnes Art Collection ----- I hope you enjoy his artwork as much as I do.
