About Lee Mullican
Lee Mullican lived and worked in Los Angeles from 1952 until his death nearly 50 years later.
He served for many years as a faculty member at the University of California at
Los Angeles, where he was a mentor to some of the region's most
important up-and-coming artists.
Mullican's work is characterized by an expressive use of color, layered textures, and geometric shapes. He sought the spiritual in art, drawing inspiration from sources as varied as Native American religions, Surrealism, Zen Buddhism, and jazz music.
As part of the artistic collective Dynaton, Mullican collaborated with Gordon Onslow Ford and Wolfgang Paalen to convey expansive metaphysical concepts; yet he also employed his skills as a mapmaker to ground his art in the physical world.
About This Event
This program is part of the Getty's ongoing Modern Art in Los Angeles series. It complements An Abundant
Harvest of Sun, Mullican's first career retrospective, currently on view at the Los
Angeles County Museum of Art.
