Purvis Young Red Faced Angel 21 High x 19 Wide COA
A Red Faced Angel is one subject that really is in the eyes of the beholder. I believe this one's mouth is a female angel, m. There are mountains on each side in black. The fabric is pink in the square and has a thin sheer border. It was once glued to something plastic and did not stay adhered. Some of the yellow seen is glue on the back coming through that sheer fabric. It is very old, probably early 1990's. You will see Purvis' symbolisms in the particular colors he uses and where it is placed. He has a meaning, a story he is telling you, in every aspect of a painting, or drawing.

Sometimes his paint or colors look happenstance, or'Pollack'- like in that the paint is splashed around. Yes, he did paint with splashes and other unconventional manners of painting. He was still studying other famous painters. He was self taught and was always experimenting.

Each painting tells an entirely different story. The colors used are to bring your eye to a starting point for the story of the subject. Where those colors are showing in the painting, your eye moves with that color to another place, as well as the subjects and the action. He will have a very busy painting, as you look at it you will automatically look at the.

But, looking closer, you will see'one' color on a side of the painting.. That color is only in one other spot on the painting, usually on the other side or top and bottom, and that is something to pay attention to.

He wants you to understand what that color'means' in that spot and what, and why, it has to do with that same color in the other spot on the other side of the work. He is leading your eye each place for you to'see' the story. Red, for instance, is not always blood. It can mean all sorts of things.

If there is no reason to have'blood' in that scene, the'red' may mean'vices' or'drugs' or'anger' or'a cause'. He used the color white sometimes to mean'ascension', but not always. The white color will start where a death could have happened, and then upwards. A swirling white to white-ish color upwards to heaven. He will show ascension for the Freedom Horses too in some of the battle scenes.

But, white is not always used in the manner I just explained. Every painting can take on several meanings depending on what'you' see in each painting. Those'feelings' are what make the piece personally special.

This is my opinion about the colors. You may find every time you look at the same painting you will see something different. Happening that you did not notice before. Or, you will meet another Purvis collector and find that the symbolism, in their eyes, is totally different that what you have determined. To be the symbolism in the same scene.
