"Family Group" Oils on a 24" X 16" canvas. Circa 1969.
What could be more "Afrofuturistic" than a Rhythmistic oil painting of a Black Family secure in bonds of an illuminated cosmic setting? This work by the then 18-year-old Turtel Onli sold to the Johnson Publishing Company in 1972 for its prestigious fine art collection. Regarded as the most important collection of Black Fine Art, it recently sold well, at auction, via the SWANN GALLERIES of New York.
Future-Primitif all the way. Rhythmism was born!
