Untitled (Abstraction) 1948

Frank Lobdell's "Untitled (Abstraction)" from 1948 is a striking example of Abstract Expressionism, a movement that emerged in the United States after World War II. The lithograph, rendered in black and white, features swirling, organic shapes that appear to dance across the paper. The artist's bold use of contrast between black and white creates a sense of depth and dynamism, characteristic of his later work. Lobdell's abstract forms evoke a sense of movement and energy, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between the physical and the spiritual realm.
