Charles Green Shaw

A friend who likes to test my art history knowledge sent me the image below, which is at the de Young Museum. As a key figure in early American abstraction, Charles Green Shaw was a unique amalgamation of a multifaceted life, education and career that resulted in a significant and beautiful body of art. Shaw holds the special recognition of being the only American born artist to be awarded two solo exhibitions during his lifetime at Solomon Guggenheim’s Museum of Non-Objective Painting (which eventually became the Guggenheim).
