Purvis young

(1945-2010) Miami, FL

Purvis Young's art was first discovered in the early 1970s when he covered a block-long section of abandoned storefronts known as Goodbread Alley in his Overtown neighborhood with his paintings. One of the most important self-taught artists of the late 20th century, his work is held in many private and museum collections.
