Biographical Mixed Media Painting of Albert Einstein by Sam Fink - On Hold

Amazing, almost 3 dimensional original artwork by calligrapher, illustrator and artist, Sam Fink.  The piece features Einstein holding a violin.  It was painted on board...but also seems to have a raised paper form of Einstein in the center of the piece (this is the part that appears 3 dimensional - even his mustache stands out from the work).  It has an Einstein quote in the background (almost appears tone written on a chalkboard).  The quote reads," The man who has discovered an idea that allows us to penetrate, to whatever slight degree, the eternal arcanum of nature has been granted a great favor.  If in addition he experiences the help, sympathy and recognition of his time, he attains almost more happiness than one man can bear."

This piece is framed (shadow box style).  It measures 26 7/8" H x 22 7/8" W x 3"D
