Lot Essay

Pickens said of the artist, "I knew Clark and his wife well. They were good friends. He could paint anything, and that, even more than his use of color, is what drew me to him. The diversity of his subjects was incredible and the style difference from painting to painting was intriguing." ("Dallas Art Collectors Including T. Boone Pickens Really Dig the Paintings of the Late Clark Hulings," The Dallas Morning News, April 21, 2017)
