1801.Pa06Description
Like many artists of the time, Busa arrived in Provincetown in the 1930s to study with Hans Hofmann. He resided here permanently for about a decade before moving to East Hampton. Busa was a remarkable figure of Abstract Expressionism and later became known for his Indian Space Painting, a style that combined surrealist ideas with Native American tribal motifs and forms. This work features a colorful depiction of two shacks in a more well-preserved state, complete with fencing and their own garden.Artwork Details
