MoCA [Museum of Contemporary Art] Westport announces its Fall Exhibition, Purvis Young: This is the Life I See, featuring thirty-six large scale works by American outsider artist Purvis Young. It is the first time that the works, from the Collection of Lynne and Jack Dodick, have been on view to the public.

Purvis Young (1943 - 2010) was an entirely self-taught artist who dealt with the plight of the underprivileged and the consequences of racism and daily violence through a highly distinctive visual style. Young lived his entire life in the Miami, FL neighborhood of Overtown, once an entertainment destination as well as a designated black neighborhood in the segregated South.
