Al Ford Abstract Painting Signed. Frame 66" X 42", Sight 39.5" X 63.5". Al Ford attended Vesper George School of Art on the GI Bill shortly after World War II in 1949 and majored in illustration. He worked for a while as an illustrator and cartographer, but it was his yearning to paint big that inspired him in 1956 to return to study at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston, MA. He later had the difficult choice of studying with Henry Hensche or Hans Hoffman – he chose Hensche. “In the 1950s, when I was in art school, it was the era of abstract expressionism; after all these years my art has come full cycle as the new work combines the �gure with abstract expressionist backgrounds. The work is about who I am and my experiences. Al Ford was one of the founders of Gallery East dating back to 1979. From A Local Estate Who Were World Travelers.
