Edward Clark (1926-2019) was an abstract painter whose work has drawn accolades nationally and internationally. Born in the Storyville section of New Orleans in 1926, Ed Clark studied at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1947 to 1951 and L’Academie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris in 1952. Clark received encouragement from two of his instructors, Louis Ritman at the Art Institute of Chicago and Edouard Goerg at the Grande Chaumière. However, the young Clark’s work was most strongly influenced by Nicolas de Staël’s painting “The Football Game” which was exhibited at “Salon d’Automne” in 1952.Private Collector,Oil on Canvas,size:24”h x 30”w,come with frame.
