Untitled (Portrait of Wallace Berman)
1974

An abstract expressionist painting featuring bold black and white brush strokes on a beige canvas. The strokes are dynamic and thick, creating an interplay of light and dark areas with some drips and splatters, suggesting a sense of movement and raw emotion. The artwork is signed and dated in the bottom right corner.
