Untitled (Abstract) 1950

"Untitled (Abstract)" is an etching from 1950 by American artist Ilya Bolotowsky, known for his contributions to Abstract art. This artwork is a quintessential example of geometric abstraction. The composition is built upon a series of interlocking squares and rectangles, rendered in subtle shades of gray through the meticulous hatching technique. This approach emphasizes the interplay of lines and shapes, creating a visually compelling and intellectually stimulating experience for the viewer. The meticulous use of lines creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the abstract geometry of the work. The piece exemplifies Bolotowsky's exploration of pure form and his fascination with the visual vocabulary of abstract art.
