Ernie Barnes: Research of the Football Artist
Ernie Barnes was and still is one of the most popular and well-respected black artists today. Born and raised in Durham, North Carolina, in 1938, during the time the south as segregated, Ernie Barnes was not expected to become a famous artist. However, as a young boy, Barnes would, “often [accompany] his mother to the home of the prominent attorney, Frank Fuller, Jr., where she worked as a [housekeeper]” (Artist Vitae, The Company of Art, 1999). Fuller was able to spark Barnes’ interest in art when he was only seven years old. Fuller told him about the various schools of art, his favorite painters, and the museums he visited (Barnes, 1995, p. 7). Fuller further introduced Barnes to the works of such artists as, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Correggio, which later influenced Barnes’ mannerist style of painting.
As a young boy Barnes was “introverted and shy” (p. 8). He

Although Barnes’ marriage was not a successful one, he adored his newborn baby girl, and was heartbroken when his wife left him, taking his daughter with her. At North Carolina College, Barnes majored in art, and developed his own style (Artist Vitae, 1999). When Barnes was a freshman in college he went on a field trip to the newly desegregated North Carolina Museum of Art. At the museum Barnes noticed that there weren’t any works by black artist displayed, and when he asked the guide where the black artists were exhibited, the guide responded, “your people don’t express themselves this way” (Artist Vitae, 1999). That negative response encouraged Barnes to work hard at becoming an artist. However, football became Barnes’ life, since his neo-mannerist form of expression was contrary to the abstract paintings, which were popular at the

Soccer — or football (or foosball or futbol), as it is called by the rest of the world outside the United States — is surely the most popular sport in the world. Every four years, the world championship of soccer, the World Cup, is watched by literally billions all over the world, beating out the United States professional football's Superbowl by far. It is estimated that 1.7 billion television viewers watched the World Cup final between France and Brazil in July of 1998. And it is also a genuine world championship, involving teams from 32 countries in the final rounds, unlike the much more parochial and misnamed World Series in American baseball (that doesn't even involve Japan or Cuba, two baseball hotbeds). But although soccer has become an important sport in the American sports scene, it will never make inroads into the hearts and markets of American sports the way that football, basketball, hockey, baseball, and even tennis and golf have done. There are many reasons for this.

Sports are a huge part of my culture. Almost everyone I know plays a sport. Football, basketball, and baseball are definitely our most popular sports. In the U.S.A, baseball is considered America’s pastime. I personally think football is much more interesting, but, that’s only an opinion.
Bold colors, lively people, and brilliant art maneuvered its way into Lubbock, Texas. The Frist Friday Art Trail took place off of Avenue K, primarily at LHUCA, but also at several surrounding buildings. The audience consisted mostly of students and adults, however some children accompanied their families. I was expecting LHUCA to be quiet, yet there was actually a lot of talking, laughing, and free wine drinking. The upbeat audience formed an active, exuberant, and enthusiastic atmosphere. I found my two pieces of artwork at LHUCA. The curator of the exhibits at LHUCA is Linda Cullum. One of my pieces came from the Christine DeVitt Exhibition Hall, showing James Koskinas. My second piece came from the

Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey are like English, Spanish, and Italian. Different places in the world understand different sports and different languages. With a world so diverse it is hard to find something that everyone can understand. Most Americans have never heard of the International System of Units, while most Africans have never heard of hockey. Nothing is more universal than soccer (more commonly known as fútbol). Soccer is more popular than Catholicism and Islam, combined. Not only is soccer the most popular sport in the world, it is also the best. Soccer is the best due to the accessibility, diversity, and unity.
