Sugar Shack

Worldwide many people know about Ernie Barnes because of his famous painting entitled “Sugar Shack”. This painting was displayed on the popular sitcom “Good Times” and was also utilized as an album cover for the late but great Marvin Gaye’s album “I Want You”. This painting, however, was created in the early 1970’s but never received any national or international exposure until the “Good Times” television series started showcasing it at the end of each episode and Marvin Gaye album exposed this phenomenal piece of artwork to a mainstream audience.
