Thistle in the Dream (To Louis Sullivan) 1956

"Thistle in the Dream (To Louis Sullivan)" is a 1956 abstract sculpture by American artist Theodore Roszak. This piece exemplifies Roszak's interest in the "organic" and "geometric" forms of nature, particularly in its use of abstract forms that resemble a stylized plant, possibly a thistle. The sculpture is crafted from welded metal, and the stark, angular shapes create a sense of dynamism and energy. Roszak's work, often associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement, is characterized by its focus on form and texture, creating a powerful and evocative visual experience.
