Demon Creature And The Art of The Circus

Demon Creature And The Art of The Circus

This hand painted carnival banner is a wonderful example of the wild images and exciting attractions assembled for carnivals and side shows during the heyday of American circus-going. This piece dates to 2002, painted by Toni Lee Sangastiano for a more recent fair. It captures the timeless freedom of circus entertainment: a place where anything is possible and sensationalism rules the day. A classic piece of Americana with a long heritage reinvented for today.
