About the Item

Painting by prolific painter William Douglas McGee (1925 - 1999) Untitled, 1987-89 Oil on paper, signed and dated lower right. William Douglas McGee was a prolific artist and teacher. His time at the historic Black Mountain College placed him at the center of the art world and drove his development as an accomplished artist. He is best known for his early abstract oil paintings, mixed-media collages, and large color-field paintings, which are exhibited at MoMA, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and other museums. In 1978, tragedy struck as Williams' house burnt down, destroying about 30% of his life's work. The tragedy brought the Color Field period to an end, and William returned to the collage period, making assemblages of cloth, paper, and metal from the wreckage. William remained a very active artist until his death in 1999. Wear is consistent with age and use. Please reach out with any additional inquiries.
