Noel Rockmore- Know for his depictions of Spirituality and the Streets of New Orleans, Noel Rockmore was the son of New York artists, Floyd Davis and Gladys Rockmore Davis. Noel began studying painting art before the age of ten and he was quickly recognized as a childhood prodigy of both art and music. At 19 he enrolled in the Art Students League, New York. Just 5 years later in 1952 Rockmore reached what for most artists would have been a career apex when he was given a show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. And not long after that his paintings were shown at the Whitney Museum (1958), the Pennsylvania Academy in Philadelphia and the Cleveland Institute of Art. He made his first visit to New Orleans in 1960 and set up a studio there in the house of artist Paul Ninas; soon he was spending his winters in the New Orleans. Rockmore grew quite fond of the lifestyle the French Quarter had to offer and thus he quickly abandoned New York. His first studio was in the Bowery, where he painted the outcasts he saw on the street. Other subjects that fascinated him were the behind the scenes life of the circus and the amusement park at Coney Island. By 1962, he was into his Preservation Hall project. He began in a systematic way to paint the old jazz musicians playing at Preservation Hall in the French Quarter. During performances he made quick preliminary studies in polymer; his subsequent large oils were each painted during a single sitting in his studio.Noel, "the mad artist", Rockmore died in 1995 at age 67.
