About the Item
The 16 in x 23 in watercolor displays striking and colorful qualities that influenced abstract expressionism for decades to come. In 2016 the Dennos Museum in Traverse City, Michigan, in homage to the very first exhibition in the Zimmerman Sculpture Court, installed the first two paintings by the former Michigan State University painting professor, Clif McChesney (1929-2011) on the Court walls, and the glass artistry of Dale Chihuly, featuring works from the Dennos Collection. In 1991, an exhibition of Dale Chihuly glass accompanied the McChesney painting installation.
A Hoosier by birth, he studied at professional schools in Chicago before transferring to Indiana University for his degree. His studies continued at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan where he was awarded his M.F.A. Clif taught as Professor of Art at Michigan State University Art Department from 1960 to retirement in 1991. He was awarded the Distinguished Faculty Award for the College of Arts and Letters in 1985. His work is included in corporate collections as well as the Detroit Institute of Arts, University of Michigan Art Museum, University of California Art Museum, Cranbrook Art Museum and many private collections nationally and internationally.

"Untitled Abstract" Oil on Board, Abstract Expressionist, Signed by the Artist
Located in Detroit, MI
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
The energy and gusto of the applied paint in "Untitled Abstract" appears close to violent except for the calming influence of the circle in the middle. The red circle tempers the movement a little and brings all the strokes and wild directions into a harmony that is bursting with life. This is an extraordinarily expressive painting by Simpson.
Simpson became the first African American to receive a prestigious five-year fellowship from the Charleston Scientific and Cultural Education fund and left South Carolina in 1949 for New York City after he finished high school. He attended New York University and Cooper Union while working in the frame shop of Herbert Benevy. Many well-known artists came to the frame shop and in time critiqued Simpson's work and developed a relationship with him. At NYU Simpson became acquainted with Hale Woodruff...
