Palm Beach Fine Art, Including Outsider Art from the Collection of Edith S. Peiser, Boca Raton, Florida

"Everyday I see in life pregnant women. I try to tell in my paintings that the pregnant woman is the birth of the earth. She represent some of the problems I see in the city. She's given birth to some of the characters around. But the way I feel about it is, they're all giving birth to angels." (Interviews with Purvis Young by William Arnett and Larry Clemons in 1994 and 1995, https://www.soulsgrowndeep.org/artist/purvis-young)
