Composition

"Composition" exemplifies Lyrical abstraction, a post-war Modernist movement characterized by expressive, abstract forms and spontaneous brushwork. Emerging from both European Abstraction Lyrique—coined in Paris in 1947 and associated with Tachisme—and the American Lyrical abstraction described by Larry Aldrich in 1969, the painting likely emphasizes emotive, free-flowing compositions without clear figurative references. Its vibrant colors and dynamic gestures evoke a lyrical quality, highlighting the movement's focus on personal expression and tactile abstraction that broke traditional boundaries of form and structure.
