Muhammad Ali was fascinated by art. So much so that he laboured a significant part of his life in crafting poetry and drawing events that occurred in his own life. Ali’s way with words, syllables, and rhyme is well known among his fans worldwide. However, apart from speaking in rhyme, Ali also drew to express his religious views and the moments he cherished from his boxing fights.

In recent times, the drawings of Muhammad Ali were put up for auction at art galleries. ‘Sting like the Bee’, ‘Under the Sun’, ‘Mosque’, ‘Guiding Light’, and ‘My Trial’ were among the paintings Ali made throughout his life. In terms of approach, Ali was effortlessly unorthodox with his style. He relied upon elementary signs that were at his nearest and drew like a child with the innocent impulse to witness the paper quickly reflect his creative mind.

The popular sitcom Family Guy once had a specific take on Muhammad Ali’s ability to draw, showcased through the humiliation of little and poor Stewie. Stewie Griffin, a one-year-old infant of Peter and Lois Griffin, made a painting to amuse his parents’ eyes. They called Stewie a “little Michaelangelo” and enthusiastically informed him that his painting was privileged enough and worth a space on their fridge for a prize.

However, as soon as Stewie left the scene, Peter and Lois laughed at his art and exclaimed how it did not even deserve a place on the fridge. To say the least, Family Guy was crushing, comparing the artwork of a one-year-old to that made by legend Muhammad Ali.

Irrespective of how and what he drew, paintings made by Ali always held a special place among his fans. In his painting Sting Like a Bee (1978), Ali celebrated his sensational knockout win. The painting depicted the exact manner in which he celebrated his knockout at the Liston fight. In addition, Ali reiterated his philosophy of life – Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.

In Let My People Go, Ali spoke about the enslavement of black people and the dominance of white supremacists. In addition, the chained condition of the black entity in the painting made a cry. On the other hand, in The Two Religions (1967), Ali commented on his faith in Islam and how it served “freedom, equality, and justice.”

Often, Ali contested the ideal American Dream. Similarly, in his painting Babe, Car, and Black Star (1979) he ridiculed the socially-conditioned idea of a successful life. Through his art-works, Ali chased and worshipped the wisdom that intensified life. Likewise, in Sunset With Tree of Life (1977), ‘The Greatest’ alluded to the wisdom that stood separated from the impulses of material life.
