Description

A painting extraordinaire titled" Big Day In Rock "n" Roll Heaven" by Jacob Jaskowiak Knight better known by all as JACOB KNIGHT. It depicts the day that Elvis passed ,going to Heaven and is being greeted by Jesus Christ and on one side of the canvas is all of the members of the Rock "n" Roll community and movie industry who passed away prior to Elvis"s passing. On the other side of the canvas is a choir of angels singing, welcoming Elvis back HOME.In my opinion one of the greatest folk artists and illustrators that ever lived. His works graced the covers of many,many magazine covers and album covers for many years. When you would walk into a room you know immediately if you are seeing a Jacob Knight painting,They are that distinguisable. His paintings and mixed media works are like no one else"s. They are just that good.They were done in all mediums and all sizes too they were done when he lived in West Brookfield (which really was HOME)and they were done in Greenwich Village and all the way to California were he lived for a number of years when he moved out west to try out his dream at becoming a movie actor . And I might mention he succeeded and was quite successful. He was also a great athlete and a great person and well known by all. He died way before his time, and is greatly missed by all who knew him. to know him was to love him!!! Angels Nest Studio James E. Mooney
