Abstract
"Untitled (Abstract)" exemplifies Abstract expressionism, a movement that emerged in post-World War II America, emphasizing spontaneous, emotional, and non-representational forms. The painting's bold gestures, dynamic composition, and vibrant colors reflect the core principles of Abstract art championed by key figures of the New York School like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. This work departs from earlier social realism, embracing an expressive, visceral approach that sought to convey inner psyche and human experience rather than depict external reality. It stands as a testament to the shift in American art during the 1950s toward greater abstraction and personal expression.
