tribute to the transcendent, transformational art of the great noah purifoy.

Noah S. Purifoy (1917–2004) was an African American visual artist and sculptor, co-founder of the Watts Towers Art Center, and creator of the Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum. He lived and worked most of his life in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, California.

He is best known for his assemblage sculpture, including a body of work made from charred debris and wreckage collected after the Watts Riots of August 1965. 

"I do not wish to be an artist. I only wish that art enables me to be."
- Noah Purifoy, 1963
