Signs 1967

"Signs" is a striking abstract painting created by Adolph Gottlieb in 1967. The bold black shapes, rendered in a calligraphic style, float against a vibrant yellow background. Gottlieb's signature "signs" are reminiscent of ancient pictographs or hieroglyphs, suggesting a connection to universal symbols and primal forms. The piece embodies a sense of spontaneity and energy, demonstrating Gottlieb's mastery of gestural abstraction. The striking contrast between the black and yellow creates a strong visual impact, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of form and color.
