Abstraction in Green and Black 1946

"Abstraction in Green and Black" (1946) by Jimmy Ernst is a prime example of abstract expressionism, a style that emerged after World War II. The painting is characterized by its bold use of color, particularly the vibrant green and black hues that dominate the composition. Ernst's gestural brushstrokes and use of overlapping shapes create a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer's eye across the canvas. This abstract composition is a testament to the artist's exploration of form and color, capturing the essence of emotion and experience without relying on traditional representational elements.
