Constance Powell-Teeples
Constance Powell-Teeples Mixed Media Abstract Geometric

About the Item

This untitled abstract work by Constance Powell-Teeples is a stark contrast to her usual work, prints of the Detroit skyline and local monuments and buildings. The work is flushed with colors that are reminiscent of the Detroit Tigers baseball team, speaking to how much her hometown had been an integral part of her art. The work is signed by her near the top right. Constance Powell was born in the early 1930s. She was a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Textile Design. Her artwork was a staple of the Anton Art Market and the Detroit Historical Museum where her pen, ink, and watercolor drawings of Detroit's buildings, venues, and skyline from the 20th century captured the city and its culture at its peak. Constance Powell-Teeples has had work in the Collectors Corner of the Toledo Art Museum and has work in the permanent collections of Henry Ford Hospital, Joe Lewis Arena, Detroit District Court and many private collections. She passed away in Pleasant Ridge, MI in 2015.

"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...
