Kenneth Victor Young (1933-2017) is finally getting his due as an important abstract artist. For more than 40 years, his paintings have been shown in group and solo exhibitions in galleries and museums around the world. Young arrived in Washington, DC from Louisville in the mid-60s and began painting orb-like compositions and shapes that he made by pouring acrylic paint onto unprimed canvas. His solo show at the Corcoran Gallery in 1973-74 solidified his place as a significant Washington Color School painter. Young's painting, "Red Dance," hangs in the East Building of the National Gallery of Art. The painting first gained attention in a 1970 feature story entitled "Black Art in America," written by Barbara Rose for "Art in America." His works were exhibited in the recent show, "The Language of Abstraction," with Ed Clarke and Richard Franklin at University Maryland's University College. Young's solo show, curated by Dexter Wimberly, will open in April 2019 at American University's Katzen Center.
