Mixed Media
Born in Louisville, Kentucky, Bob Thompson (1937–1966) earned critical acclaim in the late 1950s the figurative complexity and chromatic intensity of his paintings. Over his short yet prolific career, he developed a unique figurative style in reaction to the dominance of abstract art while incorporating its spontaneity, scale, and expressive use of color.
