Description
Description: Painting of three figures on wood signed by Young.
History: The work of the urban black vernacular artist, Purvis Young, has roots in the dreamy fields of high art subject matter-evoking Picasso in its riders, its elegant horses, its nudes. At the same time it is filled with the energy and syncretism of the world's vanguard-American urban Black culture. It is to "outsider art" what be bop is to the blues. The subject matter rides on a thick layer of color, attention, choice, free-swinging composition that refers to a thousand years of composition before it.

Size of Artwork(in): 49.5 x 24.5"
Artist Name: Purvis Young
Medium: Wood
Circa: Circa 1990
