Mixed media work by American folk artist Purvis Young (1943-2010). In muted grayscale on particle board, the painting expresses a crowded procession including cars and people.

A self-taught African American artist from Miami, Young built assemblages of humble found materials including masonite, cardboard, and carpeting scrap, and often depicted scenes of community gathering like celebrations and funeral processions.

His work is found in major collections including the American Folk Art Museum, the National Museum of African-American History and Culture, the Corcoran Gallery of Artand the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
