Rudy Pozzatti

Xanadu
1954

An abstract expressionist painting featuring a complex overlay of lines, shapes, and splatters in a predominantly monochromatic palette with accents of red and yellow. The composition suggests an industrial or architectural form, reminiscent of a cityscape or machinery, with dome-like structures that could be interpreted as buildings or silos. The artwork is dynamic, with a sense of movement and energy conveyed through the gestural brushstrokes and drips of paint.
