Frank Wimberley (born August 31, 1926) is an African American abstract expressionist artist.
There he developed an interest in jazz, which lead to friendships with Miles Davis, Ron Carter, and Wayne Shorter.
[5] In October 2020, T: The New York Times Style Magazine showcased the Wimberleys in their home in a feature on black families who settled in Sag Harbor in the 1930s and the decades after.
[7] "Mr. Wimberley's canvases are entirely abstract, demanding to be taken for just what they are, pigment applied to cloth," wrote Helen A. Harrison for the New York Times in 1991.
[9] Writing about the artist's 1989 solo exhibition at the Fine Arts Center at the Southampton campus of Long Island University, New York Times critic Phyllis Braff wrote that Wimberley's "sweeping application of paint is the dominant action, serving as both theme and as principal generator of psychic energy."
