"Bowling's transition to abstraction, seen against the backdrop of 1960s-'70s debates on abstract art and the Black Arts movement. 'Modernism belonged to me also.' So resolved the British Guiana-born artist Frank Bowling in 1966, when he moved from his temporary home base of London to New York City, keen to make his mark on modern painting. This volume surveys for the first time the transformative years that Bowling spent in the US from 1966 through 1975, a chapter of extraordinary productivity and artistic growth that would greatly shape his thinking and practice."--Publisher.
