Summer 1962

Frank Lobdell’s “Summer” (1962) is an abstract painting that showcases his signature style of gestural expressionism. The bright yellow background, reminiscent of a summer day, is contrasted with bold strokes of blue and black, creating a dynamic interplay between light and shadow. These gestural marks, suggestive of movement and energy, create a sense of depth and dimension within the composition. This exploration of color and form, characteristic of Lobdell's work, invites viewers to experience the abstract nature of art on a personal level.
