Image of Alma Thomas's 1978 painting "Untitled (Music Series)" (acrylic on canvas, 71 5/8 x 52 in.). This painting exemplifies the brightly colored, mosaic-like style of abstraction that Thomas adopted in her seventies.
A prominent abstract painter of the 1960s and 1970s, Alma Thomas was the first African American woman to have a solo art exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, in 1971. Thomas did not concentrate exclusively on making art until she was well into her sixties. - Metadata URL:
