About the Artist
Claude Lawrence (b. 1944), formerly a jazz musician, is an American abstract painter celebrated for vividly improvisational works translating musical rhythms into visual form. Largely self-taught, Lawrence's late recognition emerged prominently in the 2010s through major museum acquisitions and exhibitions. His dynamic canvases engage deeply with abstraction and rhythmic spontaneity, held by institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, Parrish Art Museum, Studio Museum in Harlem, and Brooklyn Museum.
