About the Item

Jean Patricia Taprell Clark (British, 1930 – 1973) Abstracted form Oil on canvasboard 20 x 24 in. (50.8 x 61 cm.) Having refused the opportunity to become a member of the 'Bluebell Girls' dance group, preferring to become a painter, she went on to study at the Wimbledon School of Art, where she met Raymond Briggs. The couple married in 1963 and later relocated to rural Sussex after Briggs accepted a position as a part-time lecturer in illustration at Brighton Polytechnic Art School. Jean grappled with schizophrenia and agoraphobia, which deeply affected her life. Reflecting on her condition, Briggs wrote, ""Schizophrenics are inspiring people. Her feelings about nature and experiences of life were very intense."" Jean passed away from leukaemia in 1973."

"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...
