Ambush 1960

"Ambush" is a 1960 abstract work by American artist Jules Engel (1915-2015). The piece, executed in black ink, captures the viewer's attention with its intense, gestural strokes that evoke a sense of movement and energy. Engel's signature style is evident in the bold, dynamic marks that seem to dance across the canvas, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The abstract composition, with its dark, almost chaotic energy, is a testament to the artist's exploration of expressive mark-making and the power of visual language.
