Doug Kinnett
Flowers Au Go Go, 1996
Acrylic and Oil on Canvas
22 × 30 inches
"A response to the jazz record titled 'Getz Au Go Go'. Just as Stan Getz was more sophisticated than the typical go go dance music of his time, this work aspires to be more than just a dance of flowers. But if not, as Paul McCartney once said 'What's wrong with silly love songs?'"
