Brad Jernigan

(American, 1922–1994)

I’m Here for the Season, 1974

Oil on canvas

40 × 30 inches

A vibrant and satirical masterpiece of Mid-Century Whimsy, this work by Brad Jernigan captures the colorful arrival of the "Social Season" in a tropical locale. Jernigan, a celebrated figure in the Palm Beach art scene, was renowned for his ability to translate the high-society lifestyle into playful, surrealist compositions.

Characterized by bold palettes and an illustrator’s eye for detail, this 1974 canvas is a "statement piece" that bridges the gap between fine art and society commentary. His works are prized by collectors for their humor, large scale, and distinctively glamorous aesthetic.
