A towering 1973 canvas by David Hickman, scattering pastel shapes and circular motifs that invite open interpretation.
Description
Measuring over seven feet tall and five feet wide, the acrylic work gives David Hickman’s composition substantial scale. Hickman, a painter and illustrator who taught at the University of Houston for more than 40 years and helped establish its MFA program, incorporates larger oblong shapes across the canvas. Today, the piece is preserved as part of the Houston Public Library collection.
