Description
Painting
Abstract
As the larger fine art world continued to celebrate the successes of the abstract expressionist movement in the 1950s, artist like Geraldine McCullough in The Black Knight would harness the language and forms of abstract expressionism in their work, but would not relegate form beneath content. Rather, infused his paintings with the sensibilities and movements grounded in the spirit of African American culture as jazz musicians did in their compositions decades prior.
