Jerome Lagarrigue

Art Appreciation

Featured on the cover of a legal progressive organization's publication called Teaching Tolerance is a portrait of Martin Luther King, Jr. The portrait was painted by French painter and illustrator Jerome Lagarrigue.

I came across Lagarrigue's work while surfing the artsy forager. The blog looked at Lagarrigue's close-up paintings of eyes. Interested, I researched Lagarrigue and his art.

You can see more of his wonderful works HERE.
