edward clark (1926 - 2019)
Edward (Ed) Clark was an abstract expressionist painter known for his broad, powerful brushstrokes, radiant colors and large-scale canvases. An African-American, he wasn’t widely recognized as a major modernist until relatively late in a seven-decade career, during which he pioneered the use of shaped canvases and of the everyday push broom to create striking works of art.
