Beautiful Beverly Buchanan (1940-2015) Marker & Oil Pastel Painting. Titled: "The Holy Ghost In Action" Circa 1994. Beverly was an African American artist known for sculptures, paintings and land art. Buchanan studied at the Arts Students League under Norman Lewis and Romare Bearden. Her accomplishments were many including Guggenheim Fellowship, National Endowment For The Arts, Pollock-Krasner Foundation award, Georgia Visual Art Honoree, and Women’s Caucus For Art Lifetime Achievement Award, just to name a few. Her works are owned by a long list of museums and private collectors today. Although academically trained, Buchanan utilized the tools often associated with the self-taught artist, such as inserted text, found objects, and loosely applied vibrant color, to create the visually rich textures of the humble, yet complex, structures in her drawings, sculptures, prints, and photographs. Collector grade example with original frame that Beverly spraypainted. Fresh to the market painting and is from an Athens, Georgia collection. Condition is excellent – Investment/collector grade art. Size: 14 3/4" W x 11 3/4" T
