Mycenae 1958

Franz Kline's "Mycenae" from 1958 is a prime example of Abstract Expressionism, a movement that emerged in the 1940s in the United States. Kline is known for his bold, black-and-white paintings, but this piece showcases vibrant color, using thick strokes of red, yellow, and white. The composition is dynamic, with large shapes and dynamic lines that seem to dance across the canvas. Kline's work often reflects the energy and spontaneity of the artist's gesture, creating a powerful and expressive experience for the viewer.
