About this artwork
Paul Spina was born in a working class neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, as WWII was beginning. It was a time of battling against evil, of trying to make a living, of community. The signature candy series is a direct result of this experience. As a child Paul spent fun times at the movies with his Dad, eating his favorite candy – Good and Plenty -- while watching deadly war scenes. Reflecting on this later in life, he realized how we all sugar…
coat the evil of this world to get by. So, he painted the struggle and then covered it with candy. The themes are war, bigotry, big business and politics.
Contrasting images of pain and joy, covered in candy, and brightly colored, Spina gives us much to contemplate in our own world.
In this drawing, we see his love of art history with references to Jean Francois Millet, Edvard Munch, Albert Pinkham Ryder, Edward Hopper, and Giorgio de Chirico.

Manhattan artist Paul Spina (1937-2017) was a masterful painter and visual artist with a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. He drew on a rich background steeped in both commercial illustration and fine art exhibitions across major American cities. He employed strong draftsmanship, vivid color, dramatic perspective, expressive line, and found objects, blending influences from Rembrandt to Pollock—his work bursts with movement and biting visual harmony, often overlaying personal iconography. His paintings channel intense emotion and personal history, inviting viewers to experience the complexity of joy, loss, and outrage, and challenging them to confront complacency and the darker truths lurking beneath society’s surface.
