Grady McDonald was a part of the Bay Area School of Abstract Expressionists. His work was often a blend of traditional Cherokee imagery with modern abstract fields of expression. About his paintings, Thomas Albright had said in the San Francisco Chronicle, on November 15, 1979, that “There is a kind of spectral presence that illumines the surface qualities of these paintings with something that is not inherent in the materials and forms alone.” Alfred Frankenstein was quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle in 1978 saying, “his (McDonald’s) imagery goes back to tribal symbols (Cherokee) and the drawings in tepees, shields and drums, all of it taken out of its literal contexts and given an extra thrust of visual meaning through abstraction.”
