Leo Rabkin

Through Blue
1969

A vertical abstract painting featuring a gradient of deep blue at the top transitioning to green at the bottom, with a central luminous yellow vertical streak that suggests a light source. The texture appears soft and ethereal, with faint vertical lines radiating downward from the light. The edges of the canvas are rough and uneven, adding to the painting's organic feel.
