New York 1944

Mark Tobey's "New York" (1944) is a prime example of his signature "white writing" style, a form of abstract art that uses white lines on a dark background. Tobey, known for his interest in Eastern philosophies and calligraphy, created a dense network of fine white lines that evoke the energy and dynamism of the city, creating a sense of urban chaos and order. "New York" exemplifies Tobey's unique artistic vision and his mastery of line and texture.
