Crusade 1984

"Crusade" is an abstract print created by Jacob Kainen in 1984. The composition consists of geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles, and ovals, placed on a peach-colored background reminiscent of wood grain. The colors are muted, with tones of red, green, gray, and beige creating a sense of calmness. Kainen, known for his abstract and minimalist work, often used a limited color palette to express complex emotions through simple forms. The print's title, "Crusade", suggests a sense of conflict or struggle, perhaps reflected in the contrasting colors and shapes, and invites the viewer to interpret the work's meaning through its visual language.
