"Hummingbird" is a 1978 painting by American artist Gene Davis (1920-1985) known for his abstract work, particularly his exploration of color and line. The painting, featuring two distinct sections, is characterized by vertical lines of varying shades of grey, creating a visually dynamic and minimalist composition. The subtle variation in color within each section, along with the clean lines and lack of figurative elements, are hallmarks of Davis's style and exemplify his commitment to the exploration of pure abstraction.
