Caught Red Handed is a unique Spray Paint and Stencil artwork by Mr. Brainwash. Like much of his work, Mr. Brainwash’s Caught Red-Handed motif is based on vintage illustrations from the Saturday Evening Post, often designed by Norman Rockwell or Steven Dohanos.. An older gentleman in a suit catches a little girl doing something. The child innocently holds her hands up. In Normal Rockwell’s original, of course, we don’t know what the little girl has done. In Mr. Brainwash, the motif has been alienated in its own unique way, in that the girl has hands smeared with paint and has a paint bucket standing next to her. So the girl has obviously painted some wall in a street art manner.

So the girl has obviously painted some wall in a street art manner.
Mr. Brainwash is known for finding his inspiration in classics of US culture. The French-born artist represents the American way of life like no other. He managed in a short time to work his way up to a successful artist with his unique pieces and originals. The work series “Caught Red Handed” is based on illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post by Stevan Dohanos. Specifically, the work “The Hardware Store” which appeared as a cover illustration on November 10, 1951 on the Saturday Evening Post. The original painting that accompanied it was later sold for $28,125.
Stevan Dohanos born May 18, 1907 in Lorain, Ohio, grew up a great admirer of Norman Rockwell and went so far as to copy his Saturday Evening Post cover illustrations in colored pencil to sell to friends, relatives and associates. Little did Stevan know that he would develop a close personal friendship with Rockwell, as his own art graced the cover of the Post 123 times during his lifetime.
While inspired by Rockwell’s talent, Dohanos became an “American realist” who depicted everyday life as it was. He was most influenced by the work of Edward Hopper and chose not to idealize American life as Rockwell did.
During and after art school, the young Dohanos worked at an advertising agency in Cleveland, then traveled the country painting murals before moving to New York City to work as a commercial artist. Eventually, he moved to the artist colony of Westport, Connecticut, where he drew inspiration from the daily lives of his neighbors.
While working in the city, Dohanos took advertising work from clients such as Four Roses Whiskey, Maxwell House Coffee, Pan Am Airlines, Cannon Towels, Olin Industries, and John Hancock Insurance. His work was featured in Esquire, Medical Times, McCall’s and Colliers before he successfully advertised for the first time in The Saturday Evening Post.
His first cover of the Post, the March 7, 1942 issue, was a wartime, well-captured image of air raid lights on an artillery battery. In the 1940s and 1950s, the artist’s workload for The Post increased, and he was contracted for about a dozen covers a year.
As magazine covers turned to photography and away from illustration, Dohanos quickly changed careers. He did film art for classics like White Christmas and was chairman of the National Stamp Advisory Committee, where he oversaw art design for more than 300 stamps. He held this position in the administrations of 7 presidents and 9 postmaster generals.
Stevan Dohanos found beauty in everyday life by focusing on “the place and trappings of the American dream, not those who populated it.” Dohanos’ artwork, which became known as the famous Saturday Evening Post illustrations, now adorns the walls, halls, and galleries of the Cleveland Museum, the New Britain Museum of American Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Dartmouth College, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and various federal post offices throughout the United States. He died on July 4, 1994, at the age of 87.

Presentation
Mr Brainwash, the pseudonym for Thierry Guetta was born near Paris, in Sarcelles in 1966. At the age of 15, he moved to Los Angeles with his father, brothers, and sisters after their mother passed away. A video maker and pop art artist, his works are mostly in stencil or graffiti.
He took lessons at Fairfax High school for about a year but dropped out of high school to organize Hollywood events. The artist began selling vintage clothes in Los Angeles, New York, and Miami.
Mr Brainwash had a ticking in 1999 for street art, during a trip to France to visit his cousin, Space Invader, a Parisian street artist. He has a passion for video and therefore began filming all the breaks, accompanied by other street artists, like Shepard Fairey or Wevs. At this moment, the videos weren't meant to be seen. He began graffiti and became Mr Brainwash. His universe is made up of Banksy's stencils and images of Andy Warhol.
In 2009, he met the British artist Banksy and helps him launch his exhibition: Barely Legal in Los Angeles, this event attracted celebrities and art dealers. The two artists decided to realize a documentary on the world of street artists, which was a mystery up till now. The images which were shot before were then shown along with Invader, Banksy, and Mr Brainwash.
Due to this collaboration, the doc-fiction “Exit Through the Gift Shop" (ou Faites le Mur !) was born, nominated for an Oscar, presented in 2010 at the Sundance Film Festival. The film presents the meteoric rise of Mr. Brainwash on the street art scene, and his works being sold for phenomenal sums, like his Jim Morrison portrait sold for 100 000 $ or Charlie Chaplin for 50 000 $. After the movie's success, Mr Brainwash's work becomes much more popular.
But the story can be seen the other way around. It was shown that Mr Brainwash isn't a fictitious character, he did put together the movie. The fiction caught up with reality, making Mr Brainwash a true actor in the art industry.
