ED CLARK (b. 1926) Born in Louisiana, the celebrated international artist Ed Clark began his formal artistic education at the Art Institute of Chicago in the 1940s. His move to France in the 1950s is credited as the period in which he developed a mature approach to his art with oversized canvases, large brushstrokes, and an intense focus on color. Within the relaxed and culturally tolerant atmosphere of Paris, Clark was able to establish his style and career free from the restraints of prejudice. Returning to the United States in 1957, he aligned himself with fellow Abstract Expressionists at a small art cooperative in New York City called the Brata Gallery. His lack of funds there led to experimentation and the development of his shaped paper canvases, which became a hallmark of his style. Works such as Paris display his shift towards more tubular forms and curvilinear brushstrokes in his later career, contrasting with the strict horizontality of his earlier works. Clark continues to live and work in New York City with frequent trips to his much-loved Paris, continuing the evolution of his artistic voice.

During the eighties, he cut his thickly painted canvases into regular shapes and stitched them together, reminiscent of the patchwork quilts of his childhood. Gilliam later incorporated more sculptural elements into his richly textured canvases. He continues to live and work in Washington, D.C.

and practiced during a period of great activity in the city’s African American art community. In Harlem, he attended art workshops with contemporary Jacob Lawrence and studied under Augusta Savage at the Savage Studio of an art teacher for the Federal Arts Project at the Harlem Community Arts Center. Despite his deep involvement in the African American arts community, Lewis believed that art should speak for itself. In art, he felt “political and social aspects should not be the primary concern; esthetic ideas should have preference.” Over the course of his career, his works shifted from a figural focus to a more pure abstraction, exemplified in his works featured here. Lewis was the first African American to receive the Carnegie International Award in Painting in 1955. In the 1960s, he became a founding member of the Spiral Group and a co-founder, along with Romare Bearden and Ernest Crichlow, of the Cinque Gallery, which supported emerging artists.

ALMA WOODSEY THOMAS (1891-1978) Alma Thomas began painting her signature brightly colored, densely patterned canvases late in life, after retiring from a thirty-five year career in teaching. She looked to the trees and flowers

the patterns created by the ever changing light highest inspirations come from nature. A world without color would seem dead. Color is life. Light is the mother of color. Light reveals to us the spirit and living soul of the world through colors.” She believed the creative spirit was independent of race or gender, and made several major accomplishments in her career: she was the first African American woman to earn a Master’s degree in art from Columbia University, and in 1972, at the age of 80, she was the first African American woman to have a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Today her pieces are staples in many major collections, including the private quarters of the White House.

Jacob Lawrence’s distinctive style of narrative painting features a flattened picture plane and boldly colored figures. He made his mark on the art world in 1941 with his narrative Migration Series, which depicted the transition of millions of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North. He was one of the first African Americans to have major gallery representation, exhibiting regularly at Edith Halpert’s notable Downtown Gallery with

aspirations, and accomplishments of the African American community, Lawrence continued to work in a serial format, painting vivid collagelike works while, according to scholar Milton Brown, “insisting on the larger human struggle for freedom and social justice in all the world and for all people.” Throughout the latter part of his career, Lawrence committed himself to commissions, especially limited edition prints

CHARLES MCGEE (b. 1924) Charles McGee was born in Clemson, South Carolina in 1924. He displayed artistic tendencies at a young age, proving himself a skillful craftsman of ax handles. His family left their rural home when McGee was ten, moving to the bustling metropolis of Detroit, where he attended school for the first time. Though McGee was able to catch up to his classmates quickly, he had to leave after the tenth grade to begin supporting himself. Returning to Detroit after serving in World War II, McGee took a menial job in order to focus his creative energies on painting in his spare time. He spent a decade, from 1947 through 1957, attending classes at the Society of Arts and Crafts. Despite his classical training there, McGee preferred to explore the ever-evolving facets of art, continuously changing his style and experimenting with new materials and methods. McGee has been a vital force in the artistic community of Detroit, including teaching for eighteen years at Eastern Michigan University, co-founding the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit, and continuing to contribute works to gallery exhibitions.

Bob Thompson
(American, 1937-1966) Untitled (After Seurat) mixed media 6 x 9 1/4 inches. $3,000-5,000
BOB THOMPSON (1937-1966) Brought up in a middle-class community in Kentucky, Bob Thompson began studying art after an unhappy year of pre-medical studies at Boston University. Upon finishing his art degree, Thompson moved to Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1958 where he developed his craft and became a part of the lively artist community, befriending and absorbing the philosophies of many artists who would later become his contemporaries in New York City. In 1961, Thompson was awarded a Whitney Foundation fellowship, which he used to travel to London and Paris. Inspired by the works of Old Master artists such as Titian, Goya, and Gauguin, he and his wife settled briefly in Ibiza, Spain. Returning to New York City in 1963, Thompson’s style became much more expressive of his narratives. His art was highly influenced by the flat, bright color planes and evocative lines developed by the Fauves at the beginning of the nineteenth century. His figural works often explored the Biblical and mythological scenes which had permeated the works of the Old Masters he had so admired in Europe. Deep emotion and visionary iconography resonate throughout his works. Thompson’s career was cut short when he passed away in Rome in 1966 due to his continued drug abuse following gall bladder surgery. His oeuvre remains in many museums and collections throughout the United States.

realities of World War II and later the Civil Rights Movement, his works reflected the psychological tensions of the human experience, often through lone figures in desolate urban settings. Holland Cotter wrote in Lee-Smith’s New York Times obituary: “Mr. Lee-Smith’s paintings usually have spare settings suggestive of theater stages or bleak urban or seaside landscapes. Walls stretch out under gray skies. Men and women, as lithe as dancers, seem frozen in place. Most are dressed in street clothes; some wear exotic masks. Children frequently appear, as do props reminiscent of circuses. The work has an air of mystery associated with the paintings of Giorgio de Chirico and Edward Hopper.”

ROMARE BEARDEN (1911-1988) Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Romare Bearden and his family moved to New York City during the Great Migration, and the memories and experiences of the rural South and the urban North provided him with a rich source of subject matter. The Bearden family took an active role in the Harlem Renaissance, and their circle of friends included Langston Hughes, Duke Ellington, and W.E.B. DuBois; Bearden’s studio was even above the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. A multi-talented artist, he was the author of scholarly books and a jazz aficionado, writing and recording his own songs. The influence of jazz is prevalent in Bearden’s oeuvre, as he saw collage, with its vast array of materials, patterns and colors, as a way to express the rhythms of the music. His vibrant collages were a way to “redefine the image of man in terms of the black experience.” He once stated: “It is not my aim to paint about the Negro in terms of propaganda… [but] the life of my people as I know it, passionately and dispassionately as Brueghel. My intention is to reveal through pictorial complexity the life I know.”

ROBERT SCOTT DUNCANSON (1821-1872) Robert Scott Duncanson was among the first African Americans to earn national and international acclaim for his paintings. Born in New York in 1821 to a Scottish-Canadian father and a free African American mother, Duncanson’s training as a painter began with an apprenticeship in the family house painting and carpentry business. He yearned to paint more than houses and soon taught himself to paint by copying images of popular prints. By the 1840s, Duncanson was living and working in Cincinnati and eventually had a studio adjoining noted Hudson River School artist, William Sonntag. He traveled widely throughout Europe, often with Sonntag and fellow artist Worthington Whittredge, sketching the countryside of Scotland and Italy while absorbing the works and motifs of his predecessors. During the Civil War he went into a self-imposed exile, living and working in both Canada and the United Kingdom, supported both at home and abroad by a network of abolitionist patrons. Urged by his son to feature his African American roots more prominently in his works, Duncanson once wrote: “I have no color on the brain; all I have on the brain is paint.”

AS AGENT The lots listed in this catalogue will be offered by Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.
BEFORE THE SALE Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request, on lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.
AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person
whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid.
Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids. Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion.
