Alfred Russell

La Rue de Nevers
1949

Abstract expressionist painting featuring a complex array of brushstrokes and lines in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, blue, and brown, on a predominantly white canvas. The composition is dynamic, with a sense of movement and chaos, and there is no discernible subject. The painting is signed by the artist in the bottom right corner.
