top: From Shiraz and bottom, Day to Night, by Sam GilliamI was reading a local magazine and they talked about prominent Washington D.C. artist Sam Gilliam. Part of a movement called the Washington Color School, his beautiful works are so vibrant and many of his paintings have canvases that are draped and seem to "flow". Something about his work reminds me so much of the textiles that many of us on AQ create. Enjoy!
