Torches Mauve 1960

Franz Kline's "Torches Mauve" (1960) is a striking example of Abstract Expressionism, a movement that emphasized spontaneous gesture and emotional expression. The painting features bold, black brushstrokes that seem to dance across the canvas, creating a dynamic sense of movement. The interplay of light and dark creates a sense of depth and energy. Kline's use of black and white, along with a vibrant shade of mauve, is characteristic of his later works.
