Way Down Blue 1945

Balcomb Greene's "Way Down Blue" (1945) is a striking example of Abstract Expressionism, a movement that flourished in post-war America. The painting's bold colors and dynamic forms, particularly the two figures, seem to dance against a backdrop of geometric shapes, suggesting a sense of both chaos and control. The use of fragmented forms and a vibrant blue background evoke a sense of depth and the vastness of the universe. This piece is a testament to Greene's unique vision and his exploration of the complexities of human experience.
