Barkley Hendricks writes about painter Louis Sloan.

Hendricks notes: “Louis Sloan was an under-recognized painter who happened to be a ‘Black Artist’ who didn’t do ‘black art.’ His main focus was the beauty of the planet; landscapes were an example of his raison d’etre … His influence followed me into my studio many years after his actual instruction. However it was his poise with the paint brushes and painting knives that still makes a lasting impression on my own landscape work.”
