Sunday Section III from the collection of South Carolina Arts Commission

Sunday Section III, 1970
acrylic painting
55 x 55 in
Signature: signed on lower right

Sunday Section III combines the dingent trends of Pop Art and Abstract Expression. While the gestural stroke is drawn from the tradition of the New York school, the imagination and structure of the work was inspired by the comics section of the Sunday newspaper.

This piece represents an attempt at unified abstraction by utilizing fragmented imagery. Each fragment is also complete in itself. The effect is a format closely resembling that of a Sunday comic strip page.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
