Herbert Gentry’s subject matter is inherently social, and nearly always
peopled. He was deeply influenced by jazz, which emerges as a
powerful presence in the rhythms of his paintings. His figures are
outlined by color – breathing and gregarious, often an inherent
sweetness emerges with the childlike openness.
Born in
Pittsburgh, PA, Mr. Gentry was raised in Harlem during its heyday, the
highly creative period before World War II. He served as a member
of the Armed For (showing 500 of 8393 characters). |
