Blue on Black 1970

"Blue on Black," a 1970 work by American Abstract Expressionist Adolph Gottlieb, showcases the artist's signature style of bold, simplified forms and vibrant colors. The minimalist composition, set against a dark background, features a large, circular red form near the top and a smaller blue shape at the bottom, evoking a sense of balance and visual tension. This striking piece exemplifies Gottlieb's exploration of color and form, capturing the essence of Abstract Expressionism through its directness and emotional resonance.
