Water Valley 1959

"Water Valley" (1959) is an abstract painting by American artist Karl Knaths (1891-1971). The painting utilizes a vibrant palette of pastel colors and black lines to create a geometric composition that evokes a sense of depth and movement. Knaths was a prominent figure in the Precisionist movement and a recognized proponent of abstract art. His works often explore the interplay of light and shadow, creating a sense of spatial ambiguity and inviting viewers to interpret the abstract forms as landscape, cityscape, or simply as abstract shapes.
