Sidewalk Sam
Sidewalk Sam is the pseudonym of Robert Charles Guillemin (May 4, 1939 – January 26, 2015), a Boston-based artist who resided in Newton, Massachusetts. He is best recognized for his reproductions of European masterpieces, chalked or painted on the sidewalk. Following an accident in 1994 that left him paralyzed, Guillemin increased his focus on large participatory art projects for communities and businesses. His motto, on a stickie at the top of his computer, was "Entertain, Inspire, Empower and Unite".
==History==
In the summer of 1973, Guillemin first took to the streets of Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts to draw famous artworks on crowded street corners where passersby filled a bucket with change.〔"In Boston, There Is A Danger of Stepping On, Say A Rembrandt," by Laird Hart, ''The Wall Street Journal'', July 17, 1974, page 1.〕 By the early 1980s, Guillemin found business sponsors for his street artworks and shifted to longer-lasting acrylic paints. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Guillemin also organized chalk-drawing festivals, open-air art exhibits, and public art events that engaged participants in the creation of large mosaics, murals, and banners. In 1990 and 1991, Guillemin organized the Boston Artists’ Summer Festival.〔"Artist's Work Moves out onto the Streets in Summer Festival," by Christine Temin, ''The Boston Globe'', August 2, 1991 (Arts Section)〕
In 1994, Guillemin fell 30 feet from the roof of his home 〔Nicas, Jack, (''Sidewalk Sam paints verses on Longfellow'' ) July 2010, The Boston Globe〕 which paralyzed him from the chest down and made him into a wheelchair user.〔"Welcome back, Sidewalk Sam," ''The Boston Globe'', 27 October 1995, page: 41.〕 After his accident, Guillemin returned to street painting and continues to organize participatory art events in Boston and internationally. He has appeared on the ''Today'' show and ''Good Morning America'', and been featured in ''People'' magazine, the ''New York Times'', ''Carnegie'' magazine, and a high school social studies textbook.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.harvardsquare.com/history/characters/sidewalk-sam )〕
Mr. Guillemin died in his sleep at his home in Newton, MA on Monday, January 26, 2015, at age 75.〔"(Sidewalk Sam, artist who turned streets into canvas, dies at 75 )" ''The Boston Globe'', 27 January 2015〕
