Experience the Cosmic Optimism of Alma Woodsey Thomas
Immerse yourself in the rhythmic abstraction of A Glimpse of Mars (1969), a seminal work by the pioneering American artist Alma Woodsey Thomas. This museum-quality reproduction captures the vibrant, mosaic-like brushstrokes that defined Thomas’s late career, particularly her fascination with the 1960s Space Age. As the first African American woman to hold a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Thomas transformed scientific wonder into a symphony of color and light.

The 4mm (0.15") thick acrylic provides a luminous finish, making the fiery reds and deep oranges of the Martian landscape appear almost three-dimensional. The transparent elements of the composition are backed with a crisp white finish to ensure the colors remain saturated and true to the original 1969 vision.
