Description
Born in 1955 and raised in Gardens Corner, South Carolina, near Beaufort, Green attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he earned a BFA. An African-American painter, he is widely known for his vibrant artworks celebrating the Gullah culture of the African slaves and their descendants in the South Carolina Low Country.Daughters of the South embodies in beautiful detail two distinctive characteristics of Greens works in portraying the Gullah Culture: his bold use of color and his portrayal of scenes from everyday life. Here, two women, perhaps mother and daughter, stand alone in the marsh grasses looking out at the horizon where fluffy white clouds meet the sea. One of the women has her arm around the other in a gesture of affection. Their brilliantly colored dresses and hats provide the focus of the scene and contrast with the blue of the ocean, the green of the grasses and the white of the clouds. The image captures an intimate and magical moment, one that is often present in Greens art, which is why his works are universally appreciated and loved. This piece is double mated. Measurement with frame: 16.5" x 16.5"Measurement without frame: roughly 9" x 9"**SHIPPING on this item offered through, UPS (843) 856-9099 store2130@theupsstore.com, Pak Mail 843-849-0310 - info@charlestonshipping.com.
