Joy Boy & Sally
1986
This exuberant oil painting exemplifies the vibrant expressionism of mid-twentieth-century American regionalism. The composition teems with fantastical bird-like creatures and organic forms rendered in a kaleidoscopic palette of reds, blues, yellows, and greens. Decorative patterns and undulating lines create a sense of joyful movement and visual abundance, characteristic of the Provincetown art community's embrace of colorful, imaginative abstraction. The overlapping, gestural forms suggest narrative elements while maintaining an overall emphasis on pure chromatic and textural pleasure.
