Description
This subseries consists of artwork either known or thought to date from the period after Segal's early formal instruction, during the maturing of his oeuvre, and thereafter until the end of his life. The arrangement reflects informed decisions based on style, context, materials, and the original location of some of the work.
Notable themes and imagery in this subseries include sketches made at Provincetown, Rhode Island, where Segal was exposed to the work of Hans Hofmann; abstract and expressionist themes developed in the 1950s and evidence of a strict departure from the earlier styles Segal embraced as a student; and later sketches of intimate friends and associates, including Pierre Restany. Finally, there are doodles and small illustrated notes as well as small-format sketchbooks, which record idle or somehow casual moments of creativity.
The contents of Folders 4 through 7 in Box 5A originated from a folder originally kept with Series 3: Business Files.
