Untitled (Abstraction) 1953

Helen Phillips's "Untitled (Abstraction)" from 1953 is a striking example of abstract expressionism. The print features a vibrant turquoise composition of swirling, intersecting lines against a pale background, overlaid with a grid of repeated cross-hatching. The artist's dynamic interplay of line and form creates a sense of energy and movement, inviting the viewer to interpret the abstract shapes. This work, part of Phillips's extensive printmaking career, showcases her masterful use of line and texture to evoke powerful emotions and explore abstract concepts.
