• James Brown combines archaic symbols with abstract, geometric forms in bright blue.
• As early as the 1970s, he studied in Paris and gained new influences from Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Jean Dubuffet.
• The use of unusual materials and their combination with traditional techniques are characteristic of his work.
• In the 1980s, he exhibited alongside artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring in the major New York galleries Leo Castelli and Shafrazi Art Gallery.

PROVENANCE: Galerie Walter Bischoff, Stuttgart.

In good condition. The folding part of the work's nature. Brownish canvas with various types of stains, presumably largely from the making. With a single loose thread in upper left.
