- Description:
- Lithograph by Mildred Thompson.
Thompson traveled extensively during her life. She made her home in Atlanta, Georgia in 1986, when she became artist-in-residence at Spelman College. She was one of the few African American female artists trained in, and devoted to, the tradition of abstract expressionism. At the time the piece Quaver was completed, her work centered on physics and the "invisible world" all around us. Her visual experiments were a search for meaning and cause and effect in the universe that simultaneously celebrated the chaotic, universal energies that create and sustain life.
