Signed in pencil and dated 1981 bottom right. A dynamic composition created with free and spontaneous painterly expressions. Abstract expressionism in the United States emerged as a distinct art movement in the immediate aftermath of World War II and gained mainstream acceptance in the 1950s. Art Historian William C. Seitz stated, "Abstract Expressionists value the organism over the static whole, becoming over being, expression over perfection, vitality over finish, fluctuation over repose, feeling over formulation, the unknown over the known, the veiled over the clear, the individual over society and the inner over the outer." From a private collection. Dimensions: 43"h x 30"w x 1.5"d (framed). In very good vintage condition. See less
