McArthur Binion, b. 1946, Untitled, Five color lithograph, 16 x 24 inches
Est: $1,500 - $2,500
McArthur Binion b. 1946 Untitled Five color lithograph 1980 Signed, dated and numbered 26/50 16 x 24 inches (image), 22.5 x 30 inches (sheet) Binion was born in Macon, Mississippi, and studied at Wayne State University and Cranbrook in Detroit (he was the first African American to achieve a M.F.A. from Cranbrook). Active since the 1970s, Binionâ€™s work is minimalist abstract paintings, created using oil stick, crayons, and ink, the foundation of which is usually a rigid surface, such as wood or aluminum. He identifies as a â€œRural modernistâ€ and has said that his work â€œbegins at a crossroadsâ€”at the intersection of Bebop improvisation and Abstract Expressionismâ€. Binion pulls stylistic tropes common to folk artists as well, borrowing quilting patterns, layering photographic imagery and motifs and grids. He does all this while using one implement: his characteristic "crayon," or paint stick, which allowed him to move past oil paint. "In 1972 when I started to use them, they were basically industrial marking sticks," he recalls. Binion effectively converts an elementary tool into a refined hand-held instrument. He thrives in the effort of that conversion, having developed an ornate and labored approach that demands strenuous hours, andâ€”as Binion has notedâ€”resonates with the cotton-picking of his childhood. He had to train himself to be ambidextrous to negotiate hand fatigue, and works an entire surface of a painting in one sitting, before returning to rework that surface the next day or week or month. Some works take years to complete. Depending on how long he lets the paint dry, it becomes more or less malleable, responding to his hand like pigmented, sculptural putty. 16 x 24 inches

MCARTHUR BINION (1946 - ) Macon: Blue. Marking crayon on birch plywood, 2003. 1168x228x25 mm; 46x9x1 inches (tondo). Provenance: G. R. N'Namdi Gallery, Detroit, Chicago and New York; private collection, London (2005). Exhibited: McArthur Binion: Simplicism. G.R. N'Namdi Gallery, Detroit, MI. 2004. Traveled to G.R. N'Namdi Gallery, Chicago and New York. Illustrated: Binion, Mannisto, N'Namdi & Sirmans, MacArthur Binion: Simplicism, p. 40. This beautiful tondo is an excellent example of the abstraction of McArthur Binion. This Chicago-based artist has had a distinguished career developing a distinctive body of complex work within minimal abstraction. This painting comes from a mid-career period in the early 2000s when the artist developed richly textured monochromatic paintings from layering paintstick and crayon. His current work in painting, collage and drawing has developed an autobiographical expression - small personal documents and photographs are integrated into large compositional grids or patterns. Binion received his BFA from Wayne State University, Detroit, MI in 1971 and his MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, MI in 1973. Recent solo museum exhibitions of his work include Binion/Saarinen: A McArthur Binion Project, Cranbrook Art Museum, Bloomfield Hills, MI in 2018 and Perspectives 177: McArthur Binion, Contemporary Art Museum, Houston, TX in 2012. His work is in numerous public collections including the Detroit Institute of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Phillips Collection, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Studio Museum in Harlem and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
