"Composition" exemplifies Lyrical abstraction, a form of abstract painting that emerged post-World War II, influenced by two related movements: European Abstraction Lyrique and American Lyrical Abstraction. Originating in Paris, European Abstraction Lyrique was associated with Tachisme and the French critic Jean José Marchand. Meanwhile, the American movement was notably described by Larry Aldrich in 1969. This style emphasizes expressive, lyrical brushwork and spontaneous composition, aligning with Art informel principles, creating vivid, emotionally charged abstract forms that evoke personal and universal themes.
