Rare original acrylic painting by Paul Jenkins,
a colorful Abstract Expressionist who came of age
during the heyday of the New York School. In the late
1940s , joining a wave of aspiring painters moving to
NYC, Jenkins used the G.I. Bill to study the Art
Students League and soon met Jackson Pollock and
befriended Mark Rothko. Early on he adopted a
tactile, chance-driven method of painting that relied
on almost every technique but rarely brushwork.
