Art and Photography Playlist #11 The Creation: Painter Man

Songs about Art and Photography: a playlist. #11 The Creation: Painter Man (click to play; click here to play cover version by Boney M!).   
(Thanks to Waldemar Januszczak.)

Went to college, studied art
To be an artist, make a start
Studied hard, gained my degree
But no one seemed to notice me

Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?
Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?

Tried cartoons and comic books
Dirty postcards, woman's looks
Here was where the money lay
Classic art has had its day

Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?
Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?

Do adverts for TV
Household soap and brands of tea
Labels all around tin can
Who would be a painter man?

Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?
Painter man, painter man
Who would be a painter man?


"Painter Man" by The Creation, 1966
