Midsummer Night 1968

Jacob Kainen's 1968 abstract painting "Midsummer Night" evokes a sense of warmth and energy through its bold colors and expressive brushstrokes. Dominated by a vibrant yellow circle representing the sun or moon, the piece also features a rich red background, a dark blue form that could be interpreted as a tree, and other geometric shapes that add depth and dimension. The painting captures the feeling of a summer night, with its blend of light and shadow. The artwork is painted in a loose, gestural style, typical of Kainen’s artistic approach. "Midsummer Night" demonstrates Kainen's distinctive style, known for its expressive use of color and its focus on capturing the essence of a fleeting moment.
