Maggie Barnes | Painting McCartney
Abstract impressionist painter Maggie Barnes was not a Paul McCartney fangirl in the regular order of life but came to an authentic appreciation of his music in the context of her continuing adult quest for sobriety. Maggie embarked on a project to translate McCartney’s expanding post-Beatles catalog of more than 750 compositions into album-sized iconic paintings.
Her paintings relate to the far-flung locales of McCartney’s songs either in their making or subject matter; serendipitously, Maggie had just returned from Liverpool, painting the Liverpool Oratorio, when she heard that the Cincinnati Opera would be staging the world premiere of that album as an opera this summer. Her Liverpool Oratorio series is on exhibit in the P&G Founders Lounge at Music Hall concurrent with performances, while her paintings from McCartney’s other albums are on exhibit with us.
Maggie “paints every day to stay sober," to “find a harmonious arrangement to things that appear chaotic”—indeed her painting style has a straightforward style that connects with viewers through its welcoming clarity.
