Kerouac’s Paintings

A book called “Departed Angels” about Jack Kerouac’s “Lost Paintings” came out a little before Christmas last year and it is a magnificent work! It’s got 130 beautiful color pages of Jack’s drawings, paintings, sketches and notes. And then NYU Professor Ed Adler added another 150 pages of commentary and explanation. Jack even wrote a “List of Essentials” for painting just like he did with his list of “Essentials of Spontaneous Prose“. A magnificent book that adds tremendous insight in to Jack’s art.

For ONE DAY only this Saturday April 30th from 11 AM to 4 PM many of Jack’s paintings and drawings will be on display in Lowell at the Whistler House Museum of Art, 243 Worthern Street, Lowell, MA 01852. Their phone number is 978-452-7641. There is a $5.00 admission to the museum.
