Founded by Campari and inspired by Campari’s century long commitment to the arts, House of Campari aspires to create experiences, inspire dialogue about contemporary visual arts and provide a platform for cutting- edge artists to share their passion. This summer and fall, House of Campari presents the “Art of Cocktailing” at bars and lounges throughout the U.S. The project is a partnership with SWINDLE magazine and features the artist David Weidman.
The “Art of Cocktailing” features a selection of four David Weidman prints that will be silk screened on canvas tote bags. Each silk screen is a unique and limited edition artwork that celebrates the spirit and art of printmaking.
Campari and SWINDLE magazine are pleased to present “The Art of Cocktailing” – the crossroads of art, culture and cocktailing.
Born in 1921, David Weidman grew up in East Los Angeles and was a prominent artist in the advertising and animation studios in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Weidman’s acclaim, or simply his biggest connection to a more widespread culture, comes from his work on many popular animated series. While the characters on those series often bore appearances given to them by other artists, the scenery and atmosphere that surrounded those characters reflected Weidman’s vision. The endearing quirks of the backgrounds he drew seemed to speak more about Weidman himself-witty and colorful -than one might expect from a commissioned illustrator.
