Untitled, n.d.Dims 13 1/4 in x 19 in, unframedBorn in Chicago in 1944, Lawrence is a self-taught abstract expressionist artist. He had a long career as a jazz musician in Chicago &amp; New York before turning to painting full-time in 1987. He currently lives in Sag Harbor. Claude says, “Each painting is like a performance. It takes me where it needs to go.”His work is heavily influenced by East End artists who came before him, notably Jackson Pollock and de Kooning, as well as his black contemporaries like Frank Bowling, Bob Thompson, Jack Whitten, and Al Loving. Claude Lawrence is a formidable abstract artist who expands the classic exploration that began with the masters in the 1950s and boldly takes it further.&nbsp;Shipping/Delivery is additional and arranged through HELP USA.
