Many people remember George as one of the best musicians in the history of the USA, but it is known to few people that he was also a great artist who could bring magic into a canvas with the help of his artistic paintings. It all began when he planned a getaway to the country in 1927, and while there, his brother Ira persuaded him to learn the great art of painting.

This journey in 1927 quickly transformed into a holiday spent painting in the country and clarified Gershwin’s outstanding artistic abilities. He began with watercolors and rapidly moved on to oils, displaying great competence in both mediums.
