The Thinker
Artist: Donald Zolan
Media: Oil on Canvas
Size: 30x30
Date: Late 1980’s
A benchmark Zolan painting, The Thinker is an all time favorite among collectors and an award winning painting in collectibles. Every Mother related to this painting. Zolan remarked, “What I wanted to show is that he’s at that age, that moment, when he’s discovering he can think things through.”
Zolan was this same little boy. At the age of three, while sitting on a rock in the backyard wondering what he would be when he grew up, his inner voice spoke and said you will be a “fine Artist”, “a very fine Artist” one day. This inspirational story was published in Guidepost in the early 1990’s.
