1947-H-No. 3 1947

Clyfford Still's 1947 abstract painting, "1947-H-No. 3," is a striking example of Abstract Expressionism, a movement that emerged in the mid-20th century. The work, characterized by gestural brushstrokes, contrasts stark black forms against a pale, off-white background, leaving viewers to interpret the abstract shapes and their relationship to the space. Still's paintings are known for their dynamic compositions and emotional intensity, exploring themes of life, death, and the human condition. "1947-H-No. 3" embodies these qualities, reflecting the artist's exploration of abstract forms and his unique artistic language.
