About the artist

Cleve Gray

American

1918-2004

American painter. He studied at the Phillips Academy in Andover, MA and later focused on art history at Princeton University. He is known for his abstract work that focuses on levels of color and gestural brushstrokes. Often described as calligraphic abstractions, his painting melded elements of Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, and traditional Chinese scroll painting. Often contrasting flat applications of colors with gestural brushstrokes, Gray’s marks appears to float above the picture plane. Gray gradually thinned his oil paints and eventually switched to acrylic to create washes of pigment. His work is featured in the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, and other museums.
