Untitled 1960

This untitled abstract painting by Romanian artist Alexandre Istrati, created in 1960, exemplifies the artist's exploration of textured surfaces and gestural marks. Istrati's work often incorporated thick layers of paint, creating a dynamic and tactile surface, as seen in this piece. The predominantly dark background is punctuated by lighter, fragmented strokes and dabs of color, suggesting a sense of depth and energy. Istrati's abstract paintings often challenged traditional notions of representation and explored the interplay of form and color.
