Robert Blackman
(Missouri/ Kansas, 1936-2018)
The Road, 1988
Day-Glo fluorescent pigments on canvas
48" x 48"
The largest painting from the artist's Road series. Blackman began the Road series in 1969, inspired by the work of the Anonima Group, an Op-Art art collaborative led by Ed Mieczkowski, Frank Hewitt, and Ernst Benkert. Estate stamps to the reverse.
Robert Blackman received a Masters Degree from Pittsburg State University in 1964, trained in studio art by Bert Keeney. He taught for over thirty years at Northwest Missouri State University and Kansas City Kansas Community College. Blackman's systematic painting stems from a lifelong interest in the psychology of perception. It deals with the grid system, continuous field, spatial ambiguity, and color's natural movement.

Circle will not be responsible for loss or damage of purchased lots handled or shipped, nor for acts and omissions, by 3rd party shippers, whether recommended by us or not. Circle will not release the lot for shipment until payment has been made in full and a buyer’s written shipping authorization form has been received.
