Sheet of Sketches: Young Boy

Stephen Greene was an American painter whose abstract and figurative works emerged from the postwar artistic ferment of the 1940s and 1950s. Working primarily in oil on canvas, he developed a distinctive approach that oscillated between gestural abstraction and psychological figuration, often imbuing his compositions with an underlying tension between form and content. His practice engaged with existential themes central to postwar American art.
