Agualine 1980

Nancy Graves's "Agualine" (1980) is a vibrant abstract painting characterized by swirling lines, bright colors, and energetic brushstrokes. The work evokes a sense of movement and depth, as if the viewer is submerged in a swirling vortex of color and form. Graves, known for her exploration of abstract forms and the natural world, often employed a gestural, almost improvisational style in her paintings. The work's title suggests a connection to water, and the flowing lines and dynamic composition seem to capture the fluidity and energy of this natural element.
