The Gothic XI 1991

"The Gothic XI" (1991) is a bold and striking abstract work by Judith Rothschild (1921-1993). The painting utilizes a vibrant color palette, contrasting a deep, saturated blue against a fiery, almost incandescent red, to create a dynamic composition of flowing organic shapes that appear to be both architectural and calligraphic. Rothschild's abstract work often incorporates bold geometric shapes and a limited palette, reminiscent of minimalist art but with an underlying expressive energy.
