Robert Colescott’s (b. 1925, Oakland, CA; d. 2009, Tucson, AZ) nearly six-decade painting career was a proud instigator who fearlessly tackled subjects of social and racial inequality, class structure, sex, and the human condition through his uniquely rhythmic and often manic style of figuration. Colescott's distinctive works, while not easily placed within any one specific school of painting, share elements of Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, "Bad" Painting, Bay Area Figuration, Funk Art, Renaissance Painting, neo-Expressionism, and Surrealism.
