Collision 1958

"Collision" (1958) is a black and white woodcut by American artist Robert Freemont Conover (1920-1998). The artwork features a dynamic composition of bold black lines and shapes that appear to collide and intersect, creating a sense of movement and energy. The use of contrasting black and white is characteristic of Conover's artistic style, which was influenced by Abstract Expressionism and Japanese woodblock prints. The work is notable for its bold and gestural strokes, suggestive of a collision of forces or ideas. This abstract work is a testament to Conover's mastery of woodcut technique, creating a powerful visual statement within a minimalist palette.
