Michalopoulos is a world renowned artist collected by people around the world & many celebrities own his paintings. Rockin' to New Orleans by James Michalopoulos Note: Fats Domino passed away in 2017. This was the first festival right after Hurricane Katrina and Fats Domino had to rescued from his ninth ward home during the storm. Nobody thought the festival could go on because of the storm but we proved everyone wrong & had a huge turnout. Thirty-second in the series. If there's a living symbol of all that makes New Orleans great and unique, it's Antoine "Fats" Domino. Michalopoulos' portrait of Fats was embraced as strongly as his previous portraits of Dr. John (JF98), Louis Armstrong (JF01) and Mahalia Jackson (JF03). With a richly-colored sampling of the graceful buildings that line the old city drawing the viewer's eye towards an improbably balanced Fats pounding and tickling his piano into submission, this work sums up the man, his city, its music and their place in our hearts. A classic subject, masterfully executed by one of America's great figurative artists, this was the first Jazz Fest poster produced after water topped the levees. Along with Fats' improbable rescue from the roof of his home, this poster proved that no mere force of nature can change the soul of a great city.
