Elvis in Art:
The EIN Archives |
While many fans enjoy Elvis simply for his music, his appeal is in fact much broader than that. Elvis is one of our most recognisable socio-cultural icons.......his name, image and likeness appearing far more often in everday life and the mass media than it does in the music media.
One aspect of Elvis' socio-cultural appeal is artworks devoted to him. While the "Velvet Elvis" icon, Thomas Kincade painting of Graceland and works of artists like Nate Giorgio (Elvis collector plates) are well known, there are many other artistic bodies of work celebrating his life and times.
Over the years, EIN has presented a number of articles and interviews about Elvis art:
