The moment I saw Demuth’s Futurist Masterpiece – The Figure Five in Gold, my life changed. This symphony of red and gold graphically carved into a piece of cardboard represented everything a picture should be. Simply put, I had to have it.
A quick glance at my bank receipt showed a total savings of $54.12, which I estimated to be approximately $19,999,945.88 short of a possible sale price. Realizing it would take me at least three weeks to save up the difference, I set out to recreate Charles Demuth’s picture and make it my own.
