Robert Goodnough’s “Untitled (Composition)” from 1957 is an abstract painting characterized by its bold use of color and shape. The composition is dominated by a white background, against which are placed a variety of geometric forms in shades of grey, black, brown, green, red, blue, and yellow. The vibrant hues and energetic composition reflect the artist’s exploration of abstract expressionism, a movement that emphasized spontaneity and emotional expression in painting.
