Lot description

David Clyde Driskell 1931-2020 African Sentinel 1971 collage and gouache on board 26-1/2 x 20-1/8 inches signed and dated artist's label verso Provenance: the artist to Earl Hooks, thence by descent. Driskell and Hooks were friends and worked together at Fisk University after the former invited the latter there in 1967 to teach (Hooks remained 30 years; Driskell arrived a year earlier, and remained 10 years). This is a remarkable image; an early and important work, influenced by Romare Bearden in approach, but iconically Driskell in content.
