Spanish Afternoon 1961

"Spanish Afternoon" is a lithograph on paper created by Max Ackermann in 1961. This abstract work features a vibrant red background punctuated by stark black lines. The linear forms suggest architectural elements, perhaps evoking the feeling of a Spanish courtyard bathed in the afternoon sun. Ackermann's use of bold color and minimalist form epitomizes mid-century abstraction, highlighting the interplay of shape and color in a simplified yet expressive style.
