Black Something (8.2.90) 1990

John Hoyland’s abstract painting *Black Something (8.2.90)*, created in 1990, is a dynamic composition of bold colors and gestural lines. The work features a vibrant blue background punctuated by a dark, almost black, shape reminiscent of an animal, possibly a horse. A luminous, yellow and purple, circular line surrounds this form, adding a sense of energy and movement. The use of thick, spontaneous strokes throughout the canvas creates a sense of immediacy and vitality, characteristic of Hoyland’s abstract style.
