Purvis Young (1943—2010) was born in the Liberty City neighborhood of Miami and raised in the adjacent community of Overtown. Despite the significant recognition he received during his lifetime, Young’s subject matter and materials remained constant, as he translated the discards from his neighborhood into depictions of it.
