Sad Clown- Original Painting - Gatti

Rumor has it this is tied to the infamous Gatti Circus family. This painting resembles a “Red Skelton” in the colors, and theme. The bright colors and assuming career choice are contradictory to the tone of the clown’s face. This piece makes you deep think if you want it to, and it makes you happy just the same. There is a certain relatability that you feel towards him. It also makes you get John Prine stuck in your head. “A clown puts his makeup on upside down, so he wears a smile even when he wears a frown.”
