Sub-Marine 1948

"Sub-Marine" (1948) by Morris Louis is a colorful abstract work that is characteristic of the artist’s early work. The piece features vibrant yellow and grey hues, and the swirling, organic shapes create a sense of movement and energy. The artist used a gestural application of paint, creating a dynamic interplay between color and form, which is a trademark of Louis’s style. It is a stunning example of abstract expressionism.
