Spanish Easter 1950

"Spanish Easter" is a 1950 lithograph by American artist Dorr Bothwell (1902-2000). The print utilizes bold, gestural lines and areas of flat color to evoke the feeling of a Spanish Easter procession. The use of bold colors, particularly red and black, creates a sense of movement and energy, suggesting the excitement and fervor of the religious event. Bothwell's abstract style draws on elements of Expressionism and Abstract Expressionism to communicate the emotional intensity of the scene.
