Ed Clark

An unconventional and exuberant artist working out of New York City. Born in the Storyville section of New Orleans in 1926, Ed Clark studied at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1947 to 1951 and L’Academie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris in 1952.

Clark has always been an inventive and creative artist, experimenting with techniques, like his innovative use of the push broom, for example, and his method of working on paper with dry pigment, inspired by the ‘pouring sand’ technique of the Pueblo tribe of the American Southwest. His work continues to evolve and astonish.
