JOY OH JOY BEETHOVEN GUY Pin

Enough already! Covoid! Climate change! Inflation! Time for a little joy. Or big JOY as shown in my pop art Beethoven. I stole the main image from Joseph Karl Stieler’s famous portrait of Beethoven. In Steiler’s work LVB looks grumpy as hell. So I gave him a smile. It’s more in keeping with the Joy I was after The kind sung about in Ode to Joy from Beethoven’s famous symphony. Joyful joyful it says. Listen and be joyful. I’m not the only one btw to highjack Stieler’s work. Andy Warhol did too. But his Beethoven portrait sold for $370,964,000. And mine? Yours for obscenely low prices on tees, magnets, mugs and stuff in my shop. Buy some. I will be joyfully thankful. (FYI, my fine art can be seen on artspan www.peterjketchum.com)
