Red in Red I 1965

"Red in Red I" (1965) by Ernst Wilhelm Nay is a vibrant abstract painting featuring bold, gestural strokes of color. The composition is dominated by a deep red background, punctuated by contrasting shapes of white, yellow, and blue. Nay's work is often associated with Abstract Expressionism, with his use of color and line evoking a sense of movement and emotion. The fragmented forms and layered textures create a dynamic visual experience, inviting viewers to engage with the painting's energy and depth.
