By Shelley Esaak, About.com

John Kraft Lombard Street

Lombard Street

Movement, Style, School or Type of Art:

Contemporary

Date of Birth:

November 18, 1967

Life:

John was selected by Apple as its featured artist in the summer of 2004, bringing him worldwide exposure. Influenced by Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, John's bold, colorful paintings with their deceptively simple lines are a delight. He came to painting (lucky painting!) via engineering, which isn't as odd as one might think: both disciplines require balance, form and function.

Important Works:

  • Lombard Street
  • Priorities
  • Wine & Song
  • Coit Tower (Family Portrait)
  • Release
