Blue Girl 1961

"Blue Girl" (1961) is an abstract expressionist painting by Australian artist Charles Blackman. It depicts a woman's head and shoulder, rendered in a highly gestural style with thick strokes of vibrant blue, yellow, and red. The figure is partially obscured, creating a sense of mystery and intimacy. Blackman's use of color and abstract forms evoke a feeling of emotion and energy, characteristic of his later works. The painting highlights the artist's signature style and his exploration of the human figure in an expressive and abstract way.
