- Description:
- Acrylic painting by Al Loving.
Loving was a prominent abstract painter and collage artist. His work explores the ways color, line and form play out in vibrant counterpoint to each other. His early works were studies in geometric form, often depicting arrangements of cubes. His later works, influenced by the quilts of his mother and grandmother, were more fluid. In the 1960s and 1970s African American artists were under great pressure to depict the black experience in their work, pushing them toward figurative art. Loving was unique among his generation of African American artists for choosing to make his reputation in abstract art.
