Red Skelton Art

The clown may be the source of mirth, but – who shall make the clown laugh?

Red Skelton original works of art can be found among some of the most prestigious, private, as well as public, collections throughout the world. Red Skelton, one of the most creative minds of our time, was known for his smiling, lovable clowns and his world famous characters, such as “Freddie the Freeloader”, “Clem Kadiddlehopper”, and “Sheriff Deadeye”.

Red started his painting career at around the age of five when he traveled with his mother throughout the midwest for the Hagenbach and Wallace Circus. Over the years, Red perfected his talents in painting, and today his artwork is recognized and acclaimed throughout the world.

While Red became world famous and well known for his clown paintings and drawings, he also created beautiful still life and landscape works of art.
