| Claude Clark,
Sr.
(1915-2001) was an active Works Progress Administration (WPA) artist for three years. His
early works from the 1940s reveal aspects of the good life from an era overlapping the
Harlem Renaissance. His dance scenes explore a fresh and vibrant new world of ceaseless
energy and expression of young Blacks in the big cities. His bold brush strokes create
exaggerated movement and playful exploration of compositions. In the 1950s and 60s,
Clark's themes began to change as a result of his many travels abroad to Africa and
the Caribbean Islands. However, the boldness remained in his brush strokes. Black
American themes, African masks and everyday events became the principal subjects in his work.
Mr. Clark's
limited-edition prints (serigraphs, giclee print
and carborundum prints) and original oil
paintings and drawings are available through
Joysmith Gallery.
