In stock
Alma Thomas, a pioneer in the world of American art, drew inspiration from both the vastness of space and the beauty of nature, infusing her works with a unique blend of abstract and expressionist elements. By breaking away from traditional realism in the 1950s, she developed a distinctive style that incorporated mosaic compositions and a masterful use of color theory. In pieces such as Starry Night and the Astronauts and Color Etude (or Spring Bouquet), Thomas skillfully played with light, color, and rhythm to offer a fresh aerial perspective on the world around her. After a successful career as an educator spanning four decades, Thomas devoted her time to her passion for art, eventually becoming the first African American woman to hold a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. This stunning calendar features 12 of her most dazzling paintings, showcasing the impact she made on the history of Modern art.

Alma Woodsey Thomas (American, 1891 - 1978) was an African-American artist and teacher who lived and worked in Washington, D.C., and is now recognized as a major American painter of the 20th century. Thomas is best known for the "exuberant", colorful, abstract paintings that she created after her retirement from a 35-year career teaching art at Washington's Shaw Junior High School.
Thomas, who is often considered a member of the Washington Color School of artists but alternatively classified by some as an Expressionist, earned her teaching degree from University of the District of Columbia (known as Miner Normal School at the time) and was the first graduate of Howard University's Art department, and maintained connections to that university through her life. She achieved success as an African-American female artist despite the segregation and prejudice of her time.
Thomas's reputation has continued to grow since her death. Her paintings are displayed in notable museums and collections, and they have been the subject of several books and solo museum exhibitions. She was the subject of the Chrysler-curated exhibition, Alma W. Thomas: Everything Is Beautiful.
