Description
Painting on paper 13 x 11 1/4 in, manner of Alma Woodsey Thomas (September 22, 1891 Ââ€â€œ February 24, 1978)-(this lot carries a COA) was an African-American Expressionist painter and art educator best known for her colorful abstract paintings. She lived and worked primarily in Washington, D.C., and The Washington Post described her as a force in the Washington Color School. The Wall Street Journal described her in 2016 as a previously "underappreciated artist" who is more recently recognized for her "exuberant" works, noteworthy for their pattern, rhythm and color. Thomas remains an influence to young and old as she was a cornerstone for the Fine Arts at Howard University, started a successful art career later in her life, and took major strides during times of segregation as an African-American female artist. Thomas believed that creativity should be independent of gender or race, creating works with a focus on accidental beauty and the abstraction of color. This lot will sell " manner of the artist" under the liveauctioneers platform policy. * When you list a work of art "by" a master artist that is not a copy of known work, it should be listed as "in the style of" that artist. A suggested definition: â€Å“In the style of” works are works by an unknown creator whose style is strongly under the influence of the style of the named master artist.
