The Eclipse, 1970
Smithsonian American Art Museum. Gift of the artist. Washington, DC / Art Resource, NY
Color Balance: Paintings by Felrath Hines and Alma Thomas brings together a group of Felrath Hines (1913-1993) paintings, recently given to several North Carolina museums, and juxtaposes them with work by his contemporary, Alma Woodsey Thomas (1891-1978). Hines was a founding member of the Spiral Group, the artist collective organized by Romare Bearden in New York in 1963. This exhibition is a fantastic opportunity to see vibrant work by two great abstract painters side-by-side.
