Number 2 - 1950
1950

An abstract expressionist painting featuring a dynamic composition of white and off-white gestural brushstrokes over a dark, mostly brown and black, background. The brushstrokes vary in thickness and intensity, creating a sense of movement and depth. A small pop of yellow and orange adds a focal point amidst the otherwise monochromatic scheme.
