About the Item

Purvis Young (1989–1999), 'Dancing Figures' on Panel, Larger USA, circa 1980s "Dancing Figures" Larger (at the time of posting, we have similar smaller work, LU2592339807422) by Purvis Young dates from the 1980s.

The artwork is signed 'Young' at the top and is in untouched, well-cared-for vintage condition, ready to be placed. Purvis Young (1943–2010) was a renowned American artist from the Overtown neighborhood of Miami, Florida. A self-taught visionary, Young's art uniquely combines painting and drawing with collaged elements, often utilizing discarded found objects. His inspiration drew from documentaries, art books, American history, and spiritual folklore, creating a vast visual vocabulary. His subjects ranged from wild horses and urban landscapes to holy men, angels, warriors, boats, musicians, and scenes of incarceration. This work exemplifies Young's distinctive style and thematic depth, making it a splendid addition to your collection. Embrace a piece of American art history with this evocative work that captures the spirit and resilience of a fine American outsider artist.
