Triangular Fugue I 1965

"Triangular Fugue I," a 1965 lithograph by John Dowell, is a vibrant and abstract composition. Utilizing bold, swirling lines and a limited palette of red, green, and brown, Dowell creates a sense of energy and movement across the surface of the print. The dominating triangular form in the center of the artwork, rendered in a deep green, anchors the composition while radiating outward, creating an interplay of color and line that evokes a sense of both chaos and order. Dowell's signature, in the lower right corner, completes the work, highlighting the artist's hand in this compelling abstract lithograph.
