HOLLINGSWORTH, ALVIN CARL.
Panther Woman (supplied title).
Acrylic on thick plywood, 18 inches in diameter, signed in the lower right.
[California?], circa 1971
[2,500/3,500]
Alvin Carl Hollingsworth (1928-2000), comic strip illustrator and modern painter, was born in New
York City. In the mid-nineteen fifties, Hollingsworth left a lucrative career in comics to paint fine art.
He is known for addressing Civil Rights and other contemporary social issues in his work. The pre-
sent piece shows a highly stylized Black Panther woman, with a prominent Afro and startlingly
blank, blue eyes; all around her are fragments of words. His paintings have been hung in the Brooklyn
Museum, Jewish Museum, Museum of African Art in Washington, and several prominent galleries.
