Walter Darby Bannard

Associated Names

Walter Darby Bannard

Artist, American, 1934 - 2016

The image shows overlapping blocks and splashes in shades of yellow, gray, and red creating an abstract composition. Lines and shapes meander across the canvas. The blocks and bursts of color appear hastily applied with a sponge or brush, giving the image a raw and dynamic aesthetic.
