The Web 1946

"The Web" is an abstract painting by American artist William Baziotes, created in 1946. The painting is characterized by its biomorphic shapes, a style that emerged in the mid-20th century, often associating with Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. The canvas features bold, organic forms in muted tones of green, blue, and yellow, evoking a sense of mystery and depth. The painting's title suggests a connection to the organic, web-like network of forms, hinting at the interconnectedness of nature.
