FRED BLACKMAN

Fred Blackman mixed media works on paper from the 1960s. Blackman was an abstract expressionist who died in mid-career. His work is in the collection of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. After early success with printmaking he worked with oil pastels, pastels and ink on board to achieve simplified, personal imagery with line. Chapline acquired this rare collection from Hank Baum Gallery when the dealer retired in 1995. The works on exhibition are evocative of other artists of 1960s such as Altoon and Gorky. The play of line and shapes of color express an exuberance and the spirit of the 1960s.
