Clark V. Fox (born Michael Vinson Clark, November 20, 1946) is an American modernist painter. Clark produced color field paintings while associated with the Washington Color School in the late sixties and simultaneously made figurative Pop Art.^[1] Over the course of his career Clark consciously alternated between and synthesized these two schools while moving many times between Washington D.C. and New York City.^[2] Clark is known for his minimalist architecture paintings, which are held in numerous major museums and private collections, and for his pop representations of Gilbert Stuart’s iconic portrait of George Washington.^[3] Beginning in the seventies, Clark used Mr. Peanut as a vehicle for ironically commenting on consumerist culture and brand-name icons, drawing on the analyses of the Situationist International.^[4]
