I had been in New York City for a year studying at the Art Students League of New York after graduating from the University of Alabama. There, as well as at the University, I did much abstract work, which was very “modern” at the time. This painting was inspired by Picasso’s work.
"Woman with Red Pants" by Miriam McClung, 1958. Oil on board. 36" x 30".
