Remembering Visual Artist Sam Gilliam
Black Culture Celebrated Blog
Sam Gilliam, an African American color field painter and lyrical abstractionist artist, passed away on June 25, 2022 at the age of 88.
He worked on stretched, draped and wrapped canvas, and added sculptural 3D elements. He was recognized as the first artist to introduce the idea of a draped, painted canvas hanging without stretcher bars around 1965.
His works have also been described as belonging to abstract expressionism and lyrical abstraction.

We spent last weekend enjoying the Arthello Beck Jr. exhibit "Humanization" at the African American Museum of Dallas.
Arthello Beck Jr. was a Dallas-born African American artist and is considered one of the leading Black artists in the Southwest. In 1971, Beck opened "Arthello's Art Gallery" at 1922 South Beckley in Dallas, which is still open and managed by his wife. In 2007, SDCC's art gallery was named after Beck to honor his work and legacy.
