Art Drawing---Chili Peppers.  Artist: Martin Plant©2012

I saw some chilies lying on a counter. Since I didn't have much time and I also didn't have my usual assortment of art materials with me, I hauled out a sheet of paper and my ink pen. I drew the chilies and then added some chopped up pieces to live in up the composition. In a few minutes the drawing was done. comment by Cindy: Hi Martin!

art drawing, Groucho Marx, comedian

my catalog number

He was born with the name Julius Henry Marx but we know him better as "Groucho" Marx. He was a consummate comedian who kept us laughing in such madcap movies as Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, Duck Soup and A Night at the Opera,among many other humorous classics In his later years, the laughs continued with his quiz show You Bet Your Life.

It was Groucho's quick wit, his funny chicken walk, thick eyebrows, bushy mustache, and his ever present cigar that made you laugh even when he wasn't saying anything. An example of his wit was seen in his quiz show You Bet Your Life where Groucho asked a contestant how many children she had. The lady said she had over a dozen. The answer amazed Groucho, and he asked her why she had so many children. She replied "I love my husband." Groucho replied "I love my cigar, but I take it out once in a while."

Another humorous incident occurred at an airport as he was going through customs. He was filling out a form and marked his less familiar name Julius Henry Marx. When the question of occupation came up, Groucho wrote "smuggler". Naturally this created quite a storm with the custom agents, but everything calmed down when the agents realized that in their midst was the great "Groucho" Marx.

Groucho's face is famous and well-known even today.You can find a caricature of his face if you walk into any joke shop, looking for a Halloween mask. There you will find rows of humorous looking Groucho Marx masks--with the trademark bushy eyebrows, thick mustache and black horn rimmed glasses staring back at you. Just a look at Groucho's face is enough to set you laughing.

If you need a good belly laugh, see any of his movies to set you chortling.

Enclosed is my version of the famous Groucho face, done in ink.
