Shellflower 1947

"Shellflower" (1947) is an abstract painting by American artist Lee Krasner. The work is characterized by a dense, gestural application of paint in a vibrant palette of blues, reds, yellows, and whites. The energetic brushstrokes create a dynamic and expressive surface, suggesting an explosion of color and form. Krasner's abstract style, developed during the 1940s and 1950s, is often associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement, a significant art movement that emerged in the United States after World War II.
