about Boat with Figures
An acrylic painting by American Artist Purvis Young of figures in a boat looking out beyond towards the Statue of Liberty.

Young’s work resonated with themes of immigration and of being Black in the US, particularly in the American South. His sketch-like style features loose brushstrokes often found in more Abstract Expressionist works.
