SIGNED SHANE CAMPBELL ROBERT
SIGNED SHANE CAMPBELL ROBERT JOHNSON SCULPTURE, 2008Shane Campbell (American, b. 1978). "Robert Johnson" mixed media sculpture, 2008. Signed "Shane Campbell East Tenn. 2008" on verso of case. A unique tribute piece honoring the famous 1930s Mississippi blues musician, Robert Johnson, by outsider artist Shane Campbell. The work is comprised of an open violin case with a painted, carved wood rendering of Johnson wearing a blue suit and dapper white hat standing before a large, intimidating red devil on the left, a guitar inscribed "ROBERT JOHNSON 1911-1938 R.I.P. THE GREATEST BLUESMAN THAT EVER LIVED" on the right, and a wooden cross with "CROSS ROADS" painted in red placed above. The legendary story about how Johnson came to a crossroads in Mississippi and sold his soul to the devil in order to achieve success as a blues musician is painted on the interior of the violin case, this exciting narrative delineated in red on white. Finally, the piece is signed and dated by the artist on the verso. Size: 32" L x 19.25" W (81.3 cm x 48.9 cm)
For those who would like to learn more about Robert Johnson, a fascinating documentary film entitled, "ReMastered: Devil at the Crossroads" (2019) sheds further light on the life of this incredible master of the blues. According to Rolling Stone magazine's review , "Johnson was a little-known musician and juke joint performer in Mississippi during the early 1930s, before mysteriously disappearing for a year and a half and returning with a profound set of guitar-picking skills. ('He's doing things with the guitar that even his mentors can't do.') Legend has it that Johnson became a virtuoso through sinister means: as the myth goes, he set his guitar down in the middle of a crossroads one night and called upon the Devil, striking a deal that he could become a guitar master in exchange for his soul." This said, the documentary film "seeks to go beyond the myth itself and explore Johnson’s influence in the history of music."
