Charles Alston painted these attractive tonal compositions--in oil, collage and works on paper--through the late 1950s and early 1960s. In 1960, Alston received the Emily Lowe Memorial award for painting, and exhibited his modernist abstractions at Feingarten Gallery, New York. Alston was also one of the founding members of the Spiral Group later in the summer of 1963 with his close friends Romare Bearden and Hale Woodruff. Bearden/Henderson p. 269; Kenkeleba p. 22.
