From AskArt:

Douglas Bourgeois was born in Saint Amant, Louisiana, and the intense character of Southern landscape and culture is a lingering component in his work.  Bourgeois finds inspiration and influence from biographical fantasies, tributes to pop icons, discarded paper media, religious iconography and the mysterious life of objects.

As a child, he attended Catholic school and had once intended to become a priest, but rock and roll music gained popularity around the same time, influencing him to alter his career choice.   Themes of music and religion play out equally in his work.  Bourgeois' early style was influenced by the visionary outsider artists and the raw expressive extravagance of Chicago Imagism.

Although he is reluctant to define his art, in 1990, a New Orleans art critic, D. Eric Bokhardt dubbed Bourgeois along with a group of fellow New Orleans artists, such as Jacqueline Bishop and George Febres, as a "Visionary Imagist", whose art deals mostly with social, psychological and emotional issues. 

Overall good condition, one small area of discoloration lower left edge of print (bleed into margin). Other stray marks/discoloration to margin. Not examined out of frame.

All lots have imperfections or the effects of aging. Sheafer + King Modern shall have no responsibility for any errors or omissions.
