Painting by Alvin Demar Loving, Jr. (1935 - 2005). Provenance: Alvin Demar Loving, Jr. | Private Collection, Palm Beach, Florida. 'An African-American collage artist, painter of geometric abstraction and educator, Al Loving was known for work that explored color and 'vibrant counterpoint'. He first gained wide public attention with hard-edged geometric paintings in a 1969 solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of Art. His later works became more fluid and were multi-layered, acrylic painted constructions described in a 1974 New York Times Review as 'dynamically composed reliefs, wall pieces that energize the space around them, seemingly almost to be caught in the act of moving across the wall'.' {source: askart} (Key Word Search: Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, Impasto, Abstract Expressionism) very good
