| 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 yea (showing 500 of 3768 characters). |
