Biography:
Reginald Wilson (1930–2007) was an American painter associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement. Born in New York City, Wilson studied at the Art Students League, where he was influenced by the works of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. His dynamic use of color and form contributed to the evolution of post-war American art, earning him recognition in several prominent exhibitions during the 1950s and 1960s. Wilson's work is noted for its emotive intensity and innovative techniques, which helped to expand the boundaries of abstract art. Throughout his career, he remained committed to exploring the expressive potential of non-representational forms, leaving a lasting impact on subsequent generations of artists.
